I'm going to try & read more this summer. I think this is a good start.

Well, I did something usually only people who have crushes do...This girl at work I really really like has been down lately so I printed out a piece of paper with a big smiley & said "You seem blue lately, especially with your dad leaving. I don't like seeing you sad so I thought you could use a smile *hug* -Dana"

On another note while walking shirtless to the mailbox with the above note I got honked at! Hahah, not sure what the person looked like but I don't care hahahah. It put a smile on my face.

I hate days like yesterday. I napped most the day away & when I was awake I was a moody emo blabbering butt. I guess we all have those days time from time.

I want a new job & there are jobs out there. What's annoying me is the fact that all the jobs I see I know I would hate & they all pay shit. I also don't see the point from moving to a new job that pays a buck or so more an hour. The most I ever made at a job was 25,200/year & that isn't a whole lot either, though it sure the hell beats the $7.9/hour I make now. Anyone want to give me a winning lotto ticket so I can start my own business? Nah, didn't think so. I'm not too sure why because it would probably fail horribly but working at Blockbuster has made me want to do a certain thing. What you ask? Well, you may laugh but you see those gumball machines…yeah, chuckle & judge away but those 1" gumballs only cost a penny each while people crank in a quarter for each & the machines costs less than $300. It's a silly idea I'm sure but that machine in the store I work in is just pure profit & has a constant stream of people.

Well, off I go to study STDs!

I think it's funny that I want to do my landlord.

Call me a dork but I think these toilets are awesome. I really hope to own a house soon & if I do composting toilets are something I will definitely get into. Even their water using toilet only uses 2 cups (1 pint) of water compared to the average of about 32-48 cups (2-3 gallons) per flush. That's just amazing! Another great thing is all the energy saved by composting your own waste instead of having it go to a waste facility to be treated. It's also a lot safer for the environment because I know here in Portland we have a big overflow problem. All that energy saved & then all those wonderful nutrients enriching your soil on your property, why wouldn't you want this? What a wonderful thing.

Jeeze, my cat is 14 lbs. I have a big cat hahah.

I hate thieves. I'm getting more & more physical with them too. Tonight the fighting was almost there. Ended up getting some of the product back from the prick & telling him "IF I EVER SEE YOU AGAIN I'M GOING TO SMASH YOUR FUCKING FACE IN!!!". This happened outside with no one else around because I was a bad employee & pursued him. I just can't take it anymore when it comes to them. They deserve beat downs & people should beat them down. Companies say don't endanger yourself with them. Well fuck that! Imagine if everyone stood up to those pricks. Communities would be much more bonded, kids would be raised to stand up against things, not as many thieves would want to deal with that & there would be less in general because of the community bonding & how kids would be raised. America has such an individualistic attitude. Yeah, some people would get hurt or worse but the payoff would be worth it. Preventive measures & better than responsive ones. I should start bringing my beating stick to work.
