I finally had a good birthday!

Over the past few years, my birthday was usually ruined by something weird. On my eighteenth birthday, I had to move into another dorm in the Louisiana heat. The next year, my birthday had fallen during a time where we had two hurricanes back to back so school was out. My friends had planned me a party at this place ran by a group at college but it was closed. My twenty-first was on a Sunday in a city with blue laws on that day. My twenty-seconded was ruined by Hurricane Rita. And last year, my roommate collapsed his lung so I went to see him in the hospital.

So this year my expectations were very low. I was off work so I just hung out at Barnes and Noble and brought some books. I also went to get ice cream. Later on that night, I went out to eat with my roommates to this small Meditarrean place called Atcha's Bakery. They have the best falefel on planet Earth. Ronald brought us some wine and we just hung out. Since I am at work today and have to go to Macy's this evening, I did not want to party to hard. Plus, your twenty-fourth birthday is not exactly some big milestone year. Next year, I am going to make up for the moving and the hurricanes. This is assuming I don't have move during a hurricane.

I am now having somewhat of a dilemma. I got offered a job working part-time at Macy's, which is fine. But I was at work today at the library when I saw a flyer for a job fair for Barnes and Noble. They are opening a new one in town and will need people to work there. So, I am wondering should I call in and try and rescheldule my training so I don't have to work this weekend and go to the job fair and try and get a full-time job at Barnes and Noble instead, a place I would rather work? Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Also, I hate vertical file with a passion!

It has been sooo long since I have made a post or even been on here. I have been looking for some more employment. And now I have found some! I will be working at Macy's. I will be working in the Men's department but they need me to work in this random Christmas department during the season and then just stay there ( the Men's dept.) after it is done. I was looking for some work in retail, particularly somewhere nice. Right now it is only part-time so I will keep my job at the library, thought I will see how many hours they give me and go down to ten hours at the library, if possible. Plus, a discount at Christmas at Macy's is pretty damn good. Also, maybe I might met some cute guys looking for shirts and need some womanly advice. You never know.

I love this blog named Jezebel. It is one a sister blog to Gawker and the Defamer. They have this column called Crap (fill in the blank) from a guy (or girl). It is usually an email, a letter or something stupid that someone does that shows just what a crazy douchebag they are. I just had to put in the link to the new one, which is a Match.com profile of this guy.

It looks like someone has overdosed on romantic comedies. I like these movies as much as the next girl but this it just too much. Someone is trying way too hard to be mister romance. I am pretty sure some chick somewhere thinks this the best thing she has ever read and will be sending him a message soon.

This part is my personal fave:

One comment that he made while you share a decadent triple-chocolate dessert stays in your mind. He believes strongly happiness is something that a person chooses. Like the rich chocolate dessert, here is a man who is complex, layered, and yet surprisingly simple. TheGoodDr is irrepressibly optimistic, and seems to lead a charmed life (by choice, he tells you) in which only good things happen to him. Lots of guys you have met seem to fit very neatly into a box or category, but that doesn't appear to be the case with this one. You catch yourself wondering how someone with so many divergent interests and activities could reconcile everything together. As if reading your mind, he answers "I do what I love and I love what I do."

No offense, but I would not want to be around this happy-go-lucky lucky prick all day. I want someone who gets depression and is happy to share cheap wine with me (bonus points if it comes out of a box).

Go to the website and read more of these jems. Some of these guys (and one girl) have delusions of grandeur that I can not even comprehend.

Well this week kinda sucked.

I was awaken by a large bug crawling on my face Monday morning, which means it is time for a spraying around our apartment. I don't understand why we have to ask for the complex to be sprayed. Shouldn't that be done once a month anyway! And the heat this week has just been oppressive. I feel like slavery came back or something. Also, no call back from the job interview, which sucks. I will most likely take the state test this week and apply with some other jobs with the city.

Random fact: I realized that all of my netflix movies I received this week had the same actor in them. All my movies had James McAvoy either in a leading role or a supporting role.

Well, maybe next week will be better!

This guy wanted to find a book on the Kama Sutra at work. He walked up to me all shy (he was with his girlfriend) and asked me if I knew where it would be exactly. I think he was taken aback by how cool I was. I told him I was not sure if it would be under sexuality or spirituality and he should try the 200s, 400, or 600. I was actually shocked how cool I was about the whole thing. Think I am finally completely comfortable with sex!

Here are a few highlights from my week:

1) I had an interview with the Office of Community Development this week.  It was for a clerical position.  It would be working for the Ryan White Foundation, which would be cool.  I had to sit in this interview with three people asking me questions. I tried to be my normal, sweet self.  They will not be calling someone until next week so I hope the phone rings.  So pray for me, cross your fingers, or whatever you would do for a little luck.

2) I officially am going to get my cell phone checked out again.  While downtown, I was attempting to use the calculator on my phone and it kinda freaked out on me.  It kept switching to my phone book and then it started typing in its on numbers.  I thought I was in one of the crap thriller movies where everything is a sign or something.  

3)  After watching Hot Fuzz, I am now convinced the my dream man might just be Simon Pegg. I loved watching it, especially the end.  It was so absurb!  Also, I realized the Simon has one damn sexy voice. Plus, I finally started watching the show Extras.  Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant are the kings of uncomfortable. I have only watched the first three episodes but I am pretty sure the one with Patrick Stewart will be one of my faves.  He is such a perv! I also finally watched Volver and Pedro Almodvar still managed to bring the weird and the crazy.  Yet it was still heartfelt.  And I want Penelope Cruz's body.  She was so gorgeous and looked like some member of a sixties girl group.

I am having one of those days where life just seem to suck.  Nothing is going right and I doubt it will be right in a while.  I thought so many things would have happened by now.

I promise, this is my last post of the day!

I think this story is cool.  It should not matter who you love and you should  not let stupid people get in your way.
