Another fun Quiz from Facebook. (Since I originally got this from Facebook, I’m ignoring the tagging of 26 people on here.)

————

Rules:
1. Put your music library on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. You must write that song title as the answer to the question, no matter how silly it sounds! Most of the time they seem to work though, strangely enough. (This is freaky – sometimes it doesn’t make sense, but then again….. it does. Don’t cheat, stay true to the exact shuffle. It really is freaky!)
4. Ok, go!
5. When you’re done, tag 26 people in this note, and make sure to tag the person who sent you this. I copied the text and pasted it in notepad and answered the questions. Then copied the notepad to this

HELP!! I need some ideas!

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Ok, so I really want to do something new with my hair but I can’t decide what I want to do. I want to do something different than I have done before, but not something too crazy because I work in a public place and that might not be a good idea. I’ll save the crazy for when I go back to school because then it won’t matter. I can have lots of fun with it then!! :D hee hee

Anyways, I need ideas! To avoid repeats, here’s what I have done in the past:

  • Bright Red (multiple times)
  • Dark Purple (later faded to a brighter purple, but still pretty dark)
  • Brownish red/purple (died over the prevoius purple) with blond streaks
  • Lighter brownish red (following the previous listed colour) with blond streaks
  • Bright Red with black underneath
  • Brown with blond highlights and black underneath
  • Brunette (many times over, many shades and it is my current colour)
  • Dark brown with blue and pink peekaboo streaks
  • Dark brown with pink peekaboo streaks
  • Dark brown with purple peekaboo streaks

I guess I’m not completely opposed to doing similar things to what I have done before. My faourites were the last three listed. I honestly think I look best with dark brown/brunette colour.

I don’t think I really want to go blond, but I have considered it because it would be quite a change. I haven’t been fully blond since I was a kid. My hair was naturally blond when I was little but it got darker as I got older. I started dying it when I was 14 or 15 (in grade 9) and I went with red as my first colour. I don’t look too bad with red but it looks a little funny on me when its really really bright. I like it better a bit faded lol. I have had blonde highlights and streaks in the past since I started dying it.

I don’t really even know what my natural colour is anymore. I think its changed since I started dying it. Right now my roots are about 2 inches long (Random unrelated thought: For some reason, even though I’m Canadian and grew up on the metric system I think in inches for certain things. I don’t know why. Anything more than two centemetres and shorter than a metre I tend to refer to in inches. And then of course, height. I honestly have no idea how tall I am in centemetres or metres lol.) and the colour looks a lot more brown than I remember it being 6 or 7 years ago. It used to be that kind of between blond and brown colour. I hated the colour of it! lol. But it looks more brownish now. But its really hard to tell since there is only about 2 inches of it. The rest is a faded dark brown lol. When I died it the last, in August 2008, it was so dark it was almost black, but its faded a fair bit now. Its still pretty dark but not nearly as dark as it was. And you can see lighter faded chunks where I had my pink/purple peekaboo streaks (they were in the same places because I had them died over twice; they were originally supposed to be purple but the first time it turned out pink, then when I got them redone a couple months later they came out purple, even though my hair dresser used the same formula).

Anywho, I need ideas. If anyone has any ideas what I could do, post a comment!!

Job Search Update

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

So I got another call from Safeway. They want me to come back for their cashier test thing. I really don’t want to do it now. Partly because it takes an hour to an hour an a half of my own time (which I have lots of right now, but still). The other reason is because I’m sick.

On Tuesday night I started coughing a dry cough a little bit. Then I woke up yesterday with a slightly sore throat and I was coughing more and by the end of the day my chest was hurting from coughing. I did take a Tylenol cold before I went to the interview yesterday and it helped a bit but my throat was still dry.

By the time I went to bed last night it was pretty bad so I took a night time Tylenol Cold and it helped me sleep, until 5:30 in the morning. That stuff knocks you out but if I only take one when I’m sick I’ll only sleep about 5-6 hours. If I take two usually it’ll keep me out for longer, then I fell funny if I wake up before it wears off lol. But I took a daytime one when I got up and then went back to sleep around 6:30 until just after 10:00. So that was good. I got more than enough sleep lol.

I feel so much worse today. The weird thing is that I’m not stuffed up at all. I just have a dry cough. That’s my only symptom lol. And a little trouble breathing, but that’s because of my asthma, but I take Advair for that and I’m supposed to up my dosage a certain amount when I get sick. But that stuff has kept me from getting sick as much as I did before I started taking it. Its amazing!!

Anyways, I also don’t want to go to this test thing because I really don’t want to be a cashier! Like I said in my last post, I’m a sales floor person! I’m very tempted not to go, but I said I would. I’m going tomorrow afternoon.

But after that, my friend Amanda and I are going to see Push. I’m so excited!! It looks so good and I want to see it so bad!

Job Search, 2009

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

As you may or may not know, I came back from school at Christmas and decided not to go back. I’ll explain the reasons why later, in another post. So I’ve been looking for a job. I got back in the middle of December and handed out lots of resumes and applications and didn’t get any phone calls. I put off applying at Michaels Arts and Crafts for a few reasons. I knew I would get hired because I worked at this store in the summer and I also worked at another Michaels when I was in high school. I really wanted to get a job in an electronics store or an electronics department in a bigger store, because that’s where my passion is, technology, electronics, computers, etc. Unfortunately, all the experience I have in a retail electronics setting, is a few months in the electronics department at a small Wal-Mart. It took me months to even get into the department and I made the mistake (for various reasons) of quitting without giving two weeks notice and now I can’t work in a Wal-Mart ever again. I mean I’m ok with that except that its pretty much the only retailer in the town I live in. There are lots of small stores and one grocery store.

I finally gave up and applied in the city thats half an hour away from here, which I had to do in the summer too. After more applications and no response I finally went back to Michaels. Of course they hired me again. I got my job offer yesterday. Its a new position that they have in the store. I don’t really know what I’m going to be doing exactly except that I will be working a consistent 25 hours a week (7am-12pm, Monday-Friday) rather than whatever random part-time shifts I can pick up that would all be evening shifts. So this is better since I have to drive 45 minutes to get to work. But it doesn’t start until February 16th. So I’m not starting yet.

Then, two months after applying at Safeway, the grocery store here in town, they called me. I have an interview this afternoon. I’m not really sure I want to work there but if I can pick up some part-time shifts in the evenings a couple times a week I can get myself at least 35 hours a week so total.

…Four hours later…

Ok, so I didn’t get to finish writing this post before I went to my interview. The interview went alright I think. It wasn’t very formal, which is usually better for me! lol. I don’t do formal very well. I don’t know if I’ll get it. I still don’t know if I even want it though. I’ll probably just be a cashier and I’m not really that good at that kind of thing. I don’t like handling cash. I mean I guess most people would pay for groceries with debit or credit card so its not all terrible but I still don’t really like having to deal with that situation. I’m more of a sales floor person when it comes to retail.

Yeah, so I don’t really know whether or not I’m going to get offered the Safeway job or if I will take it but I guess we will find out soon enough.

Welcome to Dreams and Destiny Collide

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

Ok, so this is my new domain, dreams-destiny.com. The plan for this new site is to be home for my blog, personal site type stuff, and my fanlistings. I’m sick of having all separate sites so I’m going to try and incorporate them together into one website. I’m blogging with WordPress, but I’m planning not to use WP for the pages of the site. Its too much of a pain when I want to redo the layout, and my fanlisting script (Enthusiast) that I use doesn’t exactly work alongside WordPress easily, as far as I know anyway. So all my pages, for now anyway will be manual HTML/PHP/CSS. I may eventually decide to go back to WP for the whole site but I don’t want to right now. Anyways, enjoy!
