Wow, I really don't update this crap. Stephanie will probably have a heart attack. I was just surprised that I remembered my password. I probably won't keep up with this, but it's cool to check back in now and again. I have to clean house today, so I'll leave it at that. Lot's of memories here on livejournal. I remember getting fired for shit I wrote on here. I think it was here. I don't know how anyone can know who I am by my sn though. Hell, I don't remember what the name even means anymore. Ah well. I miss you guys! Take care!
Blimey...
Fair suck of the sav!
Okay, here is why I don't ever update this journal; I'm lazy.
It's the truth, that's really all there is to it. Besides that I rarely even check my e-mail anymore, what makes you think I'll have time to write about my life...or *shudders* my feeeeeeeeeelings. Nope. I'm closed off. If I wanna talk "feelings" I'll come right up to you and gush. I have decided that I'm not a big fan of having my emotions slopped all over the internet. Just can't handle having people I don't know telling me how to deal with a situation they don't have all the facts of since I'm too lazy to type everything up. So I'm sort of done with that aspect of the livejournal love. I of course respect everyone's opinion, no matter how limited of information it is formed from...buuuuuuuuuuuut, at this point in my life I am going to be more than likely too lazy, or distracted to remember to even check this journal. So what's the point really?? I'll write about my day one of these days I'm sure...today is just not that day.
Love you all!!!!

No worries~

Okay okay...So Kat gets back on Sunday which is not a week away. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut, for those of you who know what I'm babbling about, it's a week until someone else arrives back home as well. I am soooooo excited. I want to introduce him to EVERYONE. I just hope that Kat doesn't freak. I love her a lot, but this past year has been lonely, and I want her to be happy for me...but I can never predict how Kat will react, I just hope it's not the worst possible repsonse. Haha. Uuuuuuugh, I'm sooooo incredibly nervous.
Today I'm getting my hair done! Whoopie! I'm going to have it darkened...I'm a tad too blond at the moment, and I'm not lovin' it anymore. Meh. Not that anyone reading this would care. So I went to Victoria's Secret a few days ago, bought a bra, three pairs of panties, and a PJ set (shorts and a tank top). It's uber cute. I can't wait to wear them. I'm trying to keep them in mint condition though until I go down to Ft. Stewart. XP Sad.
Alright well I'm off to eat and steuff, haha. Get ready for my hair appointment.

Gyah! I swear, class just went on and on. We had a half-hour discussion on how to find the possible gametes from two phenotypes, which gave us a total of 16 genotypes, however some were the same, but it was just dumb because it could have been easily done in half the time. We never even got to have class over what we were supposed to.
It was painful.
It was painful.
I bought an evening gown today.
Yah! You have NO idea what to say to that do you!?
I don't either.
Yah! You have NO idea what to say to that do you!?
I don't either.
If you ask me in one year, what happened on March 16th 2006...I'll remember.
I'll remember today forever.
Days like this are impossible to forget.
Every detail.
Every moment.
I'll hold it with me for all eternity.
Love while you can,
And when it's gone...
Never forget what you had.
If you do,
What was the point?
Of loving in the first place?

Wow, I've had so many days off that I don't know what to do with myself, it's spring break. I've been able to take care of quite a few things though while I've been free, so that's nice. I have more time to exercise and I feel like I don't do that as much as I should. I want to climb stone mountain tomorrow, I think I may, if it's as beautiful a day as today was. I don't feel much like blabbering about my day today though.
37 DAYS LEFT! I'm sooooooooooooooo excited. Most of you may not know exactly what I'm talking about. Stephanie, you SHOULD be aware, since it's all I ever seem to talk about anymore when we're together, goodness...I'm sorry about that.
Love ya all!

Wow, two days in Cold Water, captain both days. I didn't think I'd be made captain today, but at least it wasn't as bad as yesterday. I about died yesterday, just everything seemed to be pretty tight, and I just didn't have enough people, then they kept changing what time it was closing on top of a few other things...all important of course. However, I had one of the BEST rests last night. When I laid down, I was OUT. I don't even remember changing into my pajamas I was asleep so fast. Seriously.
Haha, anyways, I liked today because I was at the touch pool for about one hour and that was it. Sooooooooo wonderful. I hate to work the cold water touch pool, it's just really frustrating because it's oddly shaped, it's right at the front of the gallery so it creates traffic, people are a little rougher than I'd like them to be with the animals...but I am of the opinion that we shouldn't be touching them to begin with. I really don't like people touching the animals, and I don't mean to sound horrible, it's just that I really feel for the animals, and I just wish that we didn't have touch pools. That doesn't really matter though, we do so I just do my best to explain to guests how we touch them and why we touch them the way we do, so that it's not like just like getting rules handed to them, but more along the lines of learning about the animal, and understanding that animal. I really love it when I can tell people about the animals, things they never knew. Some people don't know that sea anenomies aren't fish. They think that anything in the water must be a fish, so it's really exciting to me to explain why they aren't fish, and also why they aren't considered a plant, which is usually everyones second guess. I don't know why I get excited about that, but I just do.
ANYWHO,
Today's been real, and it's been good. AND I'm pretty sure that while yesterday wasn't really good, today definately was. So I feel great. I wish you all a Merry Monday as well!!
Be good!!

Haha, so anyone who is anyone knows that my chemistry teacher and I do not get along in any way, shape or form. I have to leave to go to chemistry in fifteen minutes, and it's always sooooooo hard. lol that's so sad.
So I don't know what is wrong, but my shoulder is really sore lately. Not the muscle, but like in the socket almost of my right arm. It hurts sometimes when I move my arm a certain way and I'm not quite sure what to do about it. It's so random. I don't think I've done anything, I definately don't do any heavy lifting, the last thing I carried that was heavy was paint supplies for my dad and that was like...a week ago. Well...I did do my laundry this weekend too. Haha, and there was a ton of it and I piled one laundry basket on the other and carried them both downstairs, and back up. I can't imagine that stressing my arm out though. Whatever, I'm sure it'll get better on it's own, it's just never happened before.
Last night I went to Stephanie's house b/c she needed some help. She's been making these really cute shirts, and selling them for an impressive amount of money. So she asked me to go over and model them so she could put pictures with an actual person in the shirts up. These shirts were fit for twelve year olds I swear. So after two shirts, we quit and Stephanie made one just fo' me for free.
I have to go to class now...wish me luck!
Billy, I hope you're having a GRAND time in NY!!

So I don't know what is wrong, but my shoulder is really sore lately. Not the muscle, but like in the socket almost of my right arm. It hurts sometimes when I move my arm a certain way and I'm not quite sure what to do about it. It's so random. I don't think I've done anything, I definately don't do any heavy lifting, the last thing I carried that was heavy was paint supplies for my dad and that was like...a week ago. Well...I did do my laundry this weekend too. Haha, and there was a ton of it and I piled one laundry basket on the other and carried them both downstairs, and back up. I can't imagine that stressing my arm out though. Whatever, I'm sure it'll get better on it's own, it's just never happened before.
Last night I went to Stephanie's house b/c she needed some help. She's been making these really cute shirts, and selling them for an impressive amount of money. So she asked me to go over and model them so she could put pictures with an actual person in the shirts up. These shirts were fit for twelve year olds I swear. So after two shirts, we quit and Stephanie made one just fo' me for free.
I have to go to class now...wish me luck!

Alright, now that I don't have to listen to that somber music anymore I'm doing quite alright! Haha. Oh man, what a strange past few days. I work a long shift today, so I hope that I'm not captain...that seems to happen to me a bit. St. Patricks Day is coming up and this next week is SPRING BREAK! I'm really excited! I really really really want to go camping or something, but I don't know who would go with me. The last time I tried to go camping I accidentally left the tent poles, so we couldn't pitch it. That really sucked. But I learn from mistakes, so I don't think I'd ever make that one again. Next Wednesday, a friend of mine is having a BBQ. It's her birthday and she's going to be making some killer ribs, and how could I say "no"? Haha, I love ribs, and it's been nearly a year since I've had them homemade. I want to go camping Tuesday night. Just one night because Monday I work, Tuesday I have off, Wednesday is the BBQ, Thursday I am visiting my grandfather, and Friday I work...so I won't have much time now that I actually have things that I'm doing. lol.
On another note, there is something that I really need to get off my chest. Last summer, I worked at the YMCA on Sugarloaf. They fired me and told me that it would be "best" if I didn't write about it. Weeeeeeeeeeell, the conditions of my execution from the company seemed really stupid, and I've held a little resentment towards that for a little too long now. So I'm going to write about it because I know that once I get it out that I will feel better, of course...this is all how I saw the situation and keep in mind that my opinion is going to be biased, as hard as I try not to, it will be.
I was fired for 3 reasons (at least that was all that I got);
1) I wrote about my wage $9/hr on a website that I thought no one other than my friends who would see, because I figure, who else would even CARE? Apparently someone at the YMCA saw it (my thought is, what a loser to be scrambling around online and to read through something I wrote to find something from about a month and 1/2 ago. They had tooooo much time on their hands), and they got mad because they were only getting paid $7/hr. There is a reason I got paid $2 more an hour. I was a ropes course counselor, so basically I was stringing childern up 50 or so feet up in the air and if I were to let go or mess up, someone's life could be in danger. So I'm sorry, but yes. I had more responsibility than the other counselors, so I was compensated for that. I feel that should not warrant being fired, perhaps a reprimand, but definately not fired.
2) I wrote badly about a fellow staff member on the same site, however I NEVER mentioned her name. I just wrote about the night that I went with a ton of co-workers out to the theater and how it ws a scuzzy carmike, and she was dressed in a short short skirt and a top that left little to the imagination, and that perhaps she was trying to get attention with either her cleavage or just from the sheer amount of skin she was showing. I never expected to see her dressed like that, so I was shocked. I'm used to seeing everyone gross and sweaty at the camp, so it just was really strange to see her in that attire. So that was another reason, the problem I have with this one is, I could have been making it up if I wanted. I never mentioned a name and I never wrote EXACTLY what she was wearing other than the fact that I thought it looked a bit tacky.
3) And most stupid reason if I may add. I've worked for A LOT of summer camps, and I've babysat some of the kids I'd met or just taken them off their parents hands and gone to the movies or something. Well, there was this 16 year old girl whose family was from Russia. She was really awesome, and I saw some of myself in her. So we went to the movies, just hung out...like sisters, cousins, friends. When she was at camp, she did get special treatment, but not because of that, she was an LIT, so she just got to do things that other kids weren't allowed to do. So she would ask to help me on the ropes course, which was fine to me becuase I enjoyed talking to her. There was never a rule that said DO NOT HANG OUT WITH CAMPERS, just an advisement that we shouldn't in case one randomly decides to say that you molested them or something like that, then you would have a few problems. But I am not someone who is going to ALWAYS follow advice like that. People are so wiggy these days, like anyone who hands out with someone they just met who's a good bit younger is ONLY trying to corrupt them or molest them or anything bad. No chance that I just wanna be friends. The great thing was, that since her family was from Russia, and I'd met her mom a few times before anyways, they were totally cool with us just going out. Her parents and grandmother all hugged me, they're really all very sweet people, and I'm sad because I never really hung out with the girl after I was fired.
So those were the reasons that I was fired. I don't care if someone at the Y reads this. I don't work for them, ask me if I care? I feel I have the right to disclose my own personal experience and how I felt about them. I already gave the warning that my opinion will be biased, I don't feel that I should have been fired for these reasons and I have always felt that there was another underlying reason to my expulsion, but never recieved one, I feel that I was wronged. I loved working there, and everyone there knew it. I was good with kids, I was great at the ropes course, parents liked me, I never missed but one day because I was sick, I went to other camps on rainy days and helped out with them. I was even thinking to work there once the school year started with their afterschool program, since I'd been offered the job.
Well, I feel much better, much lighter. It's sad that I've been worried about that stupid warning they gave me about not writing anything about it. I just figured I'd try not to make them angry and write about it somewhere that no one would really be looking.
Anyways, for those of you who know what I'm talking about 40 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been working as much as usual. However, I've been having a little bit of trouble finding the motivation to go to class. I just go to go, but I don't pay as much attention as I should. It seems so futile. I hate going, I don't like most of the classes, and all of them could be better. I'm just sick of being in school. I feel like I've been in school for long enough. I really want a Biology degree, but I don't want to have to take chemistry or physics to get it, that's really dumb to me. I want to be a Biology major and take biology courses, but I can't! I'm so sick of these core classes. They drive me nuts. I can't stand another math class, it'll drive me up the wall. I'm happy that summer is coming, I'm NOT going to take any summer courses. My mom says I should but I'm just so close to just quitting school all together for a little while, that I must have summer off. Besides, this summer should be pretty interesting. I can't wait for everyone to come home, I miss all my friends who are away. Kat's in Japan, Tucker's in England, Mike, Billy, Ben, Simmons, and Grif are all in Milli.
My cousin has gone crazy, and I love her, she cracks me up, but I don't always feel that I have the right answers to give. She's so different from me, and it's strange to think that it's been years since we last really were together. She has changed so much in that time. When we talk I can laugh and remember the dorky things we did, like wheelchair racing through the church. But now those thoughts are far from her mind it seems, and I sort of want the innocent, carefree cousin I once had. I remember going horseback riding all the time. I couldn't ride a horse for my life now, but I remember all the horses, and being there.
I guess I'm just in one of those moods where I just wish I could reach out and grasp those fond memories, because when it comes down to it, it's the good memories that you keep close to your heart. It's bittersweet, and difficult to accept that things can never be how they were. We're all older, we've all changed, and even though I'm sure we'd both still go wheelchair racing through the church, the liklyhood of that happening again is slim, and I wish it weren't. I miss my family, it's my own fault that we're not as close I suppose. I know that everyone always assumes it's my job to do the calling. I haven't made too much of an effort. My grandfather was just in the hospital, and I still haven't gone to see him. I'm a horrible person, but I'm a little scared to go, we weren't ever particularly close, even though I know he's a great man...though more than that I'm scared of how he will look, and how my grandmother will act. Onto a lighter topic, I went ice skating again today. It was nice, though sad that four year olds could skate better than me. I've never even tried to learn how to stop on the hockey skates...ha.
I think I know why I'm in this mood. I've been in the office for a little while now and my dad is playing his music, and I don't know if it's just the track, or the mix is just on the deperssing mix, but they're all mellow, like cry your eyes out, I miss how things used to be sort of songs. How dumb. I can't believe that music can effect me so mcuh. I gotta get away, haha. This is a long enough post anyways.
Love you all!
Take Care,
Brittany :)

Ugh, I'm just relieved that Valentines Day is over for this year. I don't know if I would enjoy Valentines even if I did have a date/boyfriend.
Today was a really, really bad day.
To Stehpanie:
I liked hanging out with you and Sean. It's just that I'm envious of anyone who has someone to share V-day with, so while it was fun...deep down I was secretly grumpy. I still love you though, this is just that one day a year that I am unusually sensitive...and whiny. Of course, on top of that...quite a few sucky things have occured today. Oddly enough, I could really be up to drinking and shit tonight...even though alcohol makes me a little sick. I just haven't felt like being me today. Wheeeeeeeeell, enough whining from me. I feel dumb posting all this BS now...buuuuuuuuuut, I've spent all of two minutes typing it all up...may as well post it and laugh at myself for writing it later.
Hearts to all, I hope you all had a Happy Valentines Day (sewiouswy).

I feel a bit :
Wheeeeeee, I made my LJ nice and preeeeeeeetty!!
Now it's time to go to work.
Now it's time to go to work.
T'was, quite cold out this morning. My car was litterally caked in ice. And I wore three jackets, since it was below 32 degrees when I left my house at like...6:45am. I don't have any thick jackets, so I have to improvise with three rather light jackets. My pants were fine, my legs don't really get that cold. I have soccer legs, they are tough, the rest of me=wimp.
Then I came home and saw my babies. Seriously, I love coming home because of my three boys. They're always so excited to see me. Puppies are so cute!

I'm wondering why Stephanie hasn't updated yet.
Also, I'm going to the zoo on Wednesday, that should be fun so I'm excited. I haven't been there in forever so I'm ready to see how it's changed. They have kangaroos now. I don't remember them being there the last time that I went, of course I was like 13 the last time I was there, or whatever year it was when the Pandas arrived. I have no clue. It's been a loooooooooooooooooooong time.
I wanted my grandmother to go with me because the zoo just reminds me of her. She used to take me there all the time when I was little. But my grandfather is in the hospital, and she doesn't want me to see him so she refuses to tell me what hospital it is that he's in. I'm very worried...but, I don't know what to do. I suppose I should let her be, I don't know if I would go if I knew where he was, and I don't mean that in a cruel way at all...it's just that I'm scared. She says he's lost like 40lbs, and my grandfather wasn't very big to begin with. She says he's pretty frail.
I g2g, bye.

I don't really use my xanga anywho, but I used to keep it semi-updated, now I don't really do anything. I don't ever write about my day on this...I just type random crap. Ah well. I don't have much time to sit around and do absolutely nothing. Except on Wednesdays and I'd much rather be out of the house on my one day off.
Love ya all (Stephanie),

It took forever, but I was finally able to upload a userpic. GD. That was really retarded.
Well, there I am givin' Peter a big kiss. He's a cutie, all white n' fluffy. (now to be replaced by SNOOPY~don' be jealous, I know he kicks it.)
Stephanie sucks because she's all sick and crap. What a loser. I'm all hyped up 'cuz I wanna go see that movie "Underworld". Who cares though right? F*ck, I'll go see it by myself if I have ta. Not a big deal really I suppose, you don't really need someone to go with you to a movie, it's not like you're interacting anyways. Unless you are yelling at Steph. to say awake. Once again lahoooooo-zehur.
I hate my Chemistry teacher, I hope he falls of the facking face of the planet so I can have someone better than him. ANYONE would be better.
Biology teacher ROCKS though. I'd have a heart attack if someone had to replace him. He's frickin' awesome. (I try to avoid from using the acutal F-word on live journal lest someone sees and gets all upons my ass, and I avoid that sort of "action").
Whellllllll, that's all there is fo' now. Hope everyone has a Wacky Wednesday!

I don't really feel like going to work today...but I must. At least I have the next three days off right??
