I have so much to tell you! (And Balgram must read the entire post)

Lets start with how much fun my job can be at times: There are so many people who say the funniest things! One woman, convinced that I was a recording (which technically I am) asked if I had a current temple recommend. I went live and answered that I did. She listened to the rest of the script thoughtfully.


Some of the excuses people come up with are downright hilarious, one of which being that she was in labor. It didn’t sound like though…


One man with an adorable Irish or Scottish accent kept telling me to ‘get to the point’ in a really nasty voice.


One phone number led to a Sushi restaurant!


Someone’s name was O J Redhair, another’s name was Devin, and it turned out to be a girl.! When did that become a girl’s name?


And another person, Alan Fry, was the biggest flirt over the phone…!


Sometimes I want to wish the Bourne movies away, not because I hate them, but because they have ‘alerted’ people to the ‘fact’ that people ‘can intercept cell phone calls’. NOT! I wish people wouldn’t believe everything Hollywood thinks up. It is way over exaggerated.


There was one woman who had the last name of a family I remember from when I was twelve, and another man gave me some help on making my… I don’t know the word…better. He said that I had done a great job and that I had a great personality. (What’s really funny is that we use pre-recorded voices for everything!)


And yesterday we called Hawaii. Someone answered the phone with Aloha!


Oh and there’s a new guy at work named John who is 6’ 9”, adorable, and drives a blue mustang!

Aside from the job, I had so much fun last Saturday when my family was in Yellowstone, because I got the car while they were gone and Saturday I hung out with two of my friends!

I have discovered that since I have stopped buying books at Borders, I started buying movies at FYE. OOPS.

And I just bought Dungeons & Dragons the movie, and it is my new favorite movie, aside from the ending. But it has a scene in it, actually two or three, that I have watched over and over and over and over and over again, like over a hundred times… (Guilty of self induced depression….) And they are sad scenes. I have come close to tears each time I have watched one of the scenes. And I’m not going to tell you which one! Haha! If you’ve seen it and know all about my weirdness with movies, than you will know what scene I’m talking about. If not, too bad.

However, on the DVD of D&D, there is a PC extra that I printed off. It was a D&D fast play game based on the movie, and I played it with my two youngest brothers and had a blast as the DM. Wheeee! I should play more often… If only I had time and access to the D&D group my BFF is in…

I do, however, want to ask my BFF Balgram if she or her brother might be willing to be DM for a YSA group D&D activity one time. (I personally think it would be so much fun, I just haven’t talked to the group yet. It’s all girls, and I’m not sure how they will like it. Just a question though…)

And I haven’t talked about my week home alone yet!

My family left for Yellowstone on Friday the 6th, and I was home alone the entire time. And since I had gotten my driver’s license on Tuesday (Squeal!), I got to drive the car the entire time they were gone, from Friday to Wednesday the next week. It was a blast! It was wikabang! (That’s my new word, in case you didn’t know… It’s a combo of wicked and bad said really fast on accident… It’s a great exclamation!)
Anyway, got of subject… The entire time, I had until 1pm before I had to leave for work, instead of the normal 11am. It was heaven! And I got to listen to what ever music I wanted, however loud I wanted it, with the bass pumping the floor like none else! It was the best time I have ever had in a lifetime! And like I said before, after work on Saturday I hung out with two of my friends, Cheez and Dani. We ate at Del Taco then went and saw College Road Trip in the local dollar theater. It was the funniest show ever! I love Martin Lawrence!

I think I just ran out of things to talk about…

No! I have one more thing!

I’m buying my parents car from them, and not moving out for a long time.
The car, I’m paying the last year of payments until it is all paid off, then it’s mine. Because of that, I won’t have money to move out, or go to college next year. But no worries! I will have a car! And I won’t have to ride the bus 5 hours a day just to get to and from work!
Ain’t it grand!

I have also finally seen the movie Blood and Chocolate, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who has read the book, and recommend it to everyone who hasn’t, then recommend the book as a completely separate story. The movie was terrible compared to the book, but it was a great story by its self.

And I love the music on the Blood and Chocolate CD, almost all of which is NOT in the movie.

And I’m done. For now.


Laters!

Hee hee hee. Your taste is movies differs radically from mine own.

Sure, I don't mind running a group for you. Having a group of people who've at least HEARD of the game is infinitely preferred, but if you want to run a game I don't mind being DM for a day.

Kudos on the car, but I'm surprised that you're putting off college. Shrug, your life.
