Well I had alot of fun going to the petshop. I really couldn't decide what I wanted. But we ended up picking out 3 blue fish. Ones a Zebra Cobalt something, another is a Cobalt something, and I has no clue what the other one. Instead of putting them in their own tank, I just put them in my newts tank for now. So far they seem to be doing pretty well.
I tried to take a photo of it, and all I got was blue blurs.
At they petshop they had this cute mix bred called a Jack-a-be, which is a Jack Russell mixed with a Beagle. Cutest thing... ever. Seriously.

RIP Mr.Turtle. :( Mr. Turtle has had a tumor in his neck for about 7-8 months now. When Carl went with me to take him to the vet, they wanted almost 400 dollars to have the tumor removed. There was a possibility if the surgery lasted more than 10 minutes it would be bumped up another 120 dollars to keep him asleep for an extra 10 minutes. Plus there was a good chance he wouldn't live through the surgery. So I opted to not do the surgery and we started feeding and medicating him differently. He had been looking alot better, I even heard him sloshing around in his tank like normal last night. I went to work, and as soon as I unlocked the door to get into the store, I got a phonecall from my dad saying he found Mr. Turtle dead in his tank :( He was only 8 years old -- which is fairly young for an eastern map turtle. I suck =/ I was able to bum my old camera off my dad for the time being -- because I really can't go without a camera. It makes me miss my 8mp. This is a Kodak aswell, but it's only 6.1mp and the difference is just sickening. Hopefully soon I can afford a new camera. Gears of War 2 came out yesterday, but I ended up having to work the midnight launch and open this morning so I haven't had a chance to play it yet. But I'm off the next 2 days -- so I plan on getting my share of Little Big Planet, Gears of War 2, Spyro, Fable 2, and Fallout 3... Oh and I checked out End War too. Too many games -- and the list grows next week. After telling Carl about Mr.Turtle -- He asked what I was going to do wit hthe tank, since my aquarium is a dual setup. (Two tanks on one stand). Currently there's just my newts tank (Pictured below), on the top and an empty bottom. He asked me if I wanted to go pick out some fish to have another fish aquarium. So we're going to the petshop tonight to pick out some fish :) I'm really excited. I love going to the petshop.  It's kinda bland -- but it makes for easly cleaning, my guppies breed like mad fish. =/

I've been looking on Amazon, for cameras to see what to replace mine with;
1. Sony Cybershot DSCW300 13.6MP Digital Camera
- 13.6-megapixel Super HAD CCD image sensor
- 3x optical zoom/6x digital zoom (35mm-105mm) lens
- BIONZ image processor delivers speed and precision
- Large, 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD display
- Smile Shutter technology captures smiles
I like the idea of having a higher megapixel, since my last camera was an 8mp. Plus, I have a friend who has this exact camera and they're aboslutely in love with it. I got to mess with it hands on at Crutchfield yesterday and I like the size of it. The only bad thing about this camera is it uses a Pro Duo memory card -- and my laptop only has an SD slot, so I'd have to purchuse an attachment to use the memory card on my laptop. It costs about 300.
( Read more... )
(I can't figure out why everything is bolded either. My bad)
These cameras and the others I've looked at I think it's probably going to be either 1 or 4. What do you think? Any camera suggestions?

Sarah's cat, Gato is in my thoughts. I remember all the sleep overs at Sarah's house when we were younger and basicly torturing that poor cat whenever he came around -- to the point we were dressing him up. Apparently he stopped eatting, and he's at the vet right now. :(

Remember last post, I talked about seeing my old manager for the first time almost 2 1/2 years? Well I got a phone call today at the store, about 10 minutes after I opened. He asked for a use copy of fallout 3 for the ps3, we didn't have one. He was basicly checking to see if I was there I guess. He came in about an hour later to return The Force Unleashed. That's when I knew this all was just to see me. This man is the one who really got me interested in Star Wars. I always liked the movies, but then debating him about he star wars universe -- and he was returning one of the best Star Wars games.
need
We chatted today, alot less akward than yesterday. We were talking about Fallout 3, and he told me he was a couple bucks short to get it. So I used my trade in credit I had on my edge card to pay it. The man did give me a bunny and a halo edition xbox back in the day... I have a feeling now that he knows I'm working at GameStop he's going to try and start talking to me again.
a camera.
Meh. I left work and went home. Shortly afterwards Carl picked me up and I went with him to apply at crutchfield as an installer. He was being kinda mean/cold towards me -- and when I started getting upset, he started to apologize. I want to feel wanted, not hated. I don't even know what to say.
 fall is so pretty.

I voted today, for McCain. I stand by my decision, and will for the next 4/8 years.
Today I spoke to my manager for the first time since the phonecall fesco, the other day. I stopped by the store to trade in my Marvel vs Capcom 2 towards Gears of War 2 (I'm regreting it. But I want my game and I has no money). He tried joking with me as soon as I came in the door, and when he realized I didn't want anything to do with the joking he stopped. I'm working all week at another GameStop (Part of this issue, he shipped me off to another store as a temp. for some strange reason. Told the manager I'm currently working for, that I didn't want to work in my store). So he asked me if I was closing at the other store, and I told him yes, And he said he was going to bring a store transfer down to that store later on, and that we needed to talk. Finally I get to tell him exactly what I think about what's going on.
I get to the other store and Alex, the manager, tells me my old boss was just in there about an hour ago. Let me step back and tell you a little bit about my old manager. When I first started working for GameStop back in 2005, I was 16. This man was 36. After working for him for about a month, he and I started talking on the phone. I'd tell him things that were going on in my life and he started giving me advice. Eventually this turned into something more than a friendship -- which wasn't wanted or desired. I was still on and off with my highschool boyfriend and wasn't intersted in someone 20 years older than me. When things got too out of hand for me, I tried to back out -- but he wouldn't let me. He called my house phone, my cell phone threating to take the rabbit, Obi, that he gave me -- away. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and one day when he was yelling at me in the store -- I walked out and told him I couldn't deal with the shit anymore. Luckly when I went to apply at a different GameStop in town -- I found out that he hadn't taken me out of the system so I was able to work at GameStop still.
Well apparently the game that Alex sold him was defective, and when he called back to tell Alex he was going to bring it back -- Alex told him I'd be there. (Most GameStop managers knew what happend between me and him.) After hearing that he told Alex he'd come in the next day to avoid me. I heard this and laughed. I told Alex that knowing him -- he'll be in tonight. And I'll be damned if he wasn't.
The thing with my old manager, we use to yell at eachother all the time. So around 7, my current manager shows up to talk to me about what's going on. He throws his arms in the air and just says "Alright, Katy. Lay into me. What's wrong". Right as I started to fuss at him. My first manager walks in. I'm pretty sure he thought it was something more than what it was. And to me it felt like I was back in time 3 years, and I was yelling at my old manager. I was nervous, but talking to him was alot easier than what I would have thought after what we had been through. His girlfriend came in, and clung to his arm for the first few minutes -- until he told her to go to the car. (I pretty much figured he was showing her off.)
I realize, I get into the worst situations. :(
After I got off from work, I went and hung out with Carl for a bit. Shortly after 11, I got a text from Alex telling me Obama won. I thought he was just joking since it seemed pretty early. No joke though...

I'm going to end up one of those crazy cat ladies.

This weekend didn't turn out exactly how it should have.
We got up to Stafford around 9 something and the party was already had a ton of people there. Girls dresssed up in the normal slutty costumes -- nurses, witches, and bunnies, oh my. Carl's friend Jeff was so drunk right after we go there, he was going around telling people to cut off his ear for 65 dollars. =/ He was stubling around like a sloppy drunk. After a couple of rounds of beer pong -- Our DD decided she wanted to go ahead and take everyone back to Jeff's house. (She was 38 -- looked 25, and her 15 year old daughter was partying with us). So 10 people packed into this little ass mini van and we made the voyage to Jeff's house. Of course we had to stop for alcohol, so at 11:58, Sedric, Carl and Tim go running into a grocery store in attempt to get some beer. ( Read more... )I did get kinda pissed when I saw Carl talking to some random ass girl on a bunny costume. =/ I'm one jealous son' of a bitch.

Happy Halloween!
I'm about to head out to Staford, VA with Carl for the night. Apparently there's a huge party that his friends know about.. I'm not normally a big party-er. I just... need to get my mind off of my job and crap.
I ate a bag of skittles today and two little pieces of chicken. Anxiety is getting to me because of my job situation. :(
I was trying to do a sexy-lady-wink. I look like someone just hit me with a shovel.
I'll post some photos up from tonight, tomorrow :)

So apparently my manager is trying to get rid of me, because he's dating a female manager of a store across the street, and she's not fond of him working with me, a female. I was nervous about my job until I realized that I have more on him than anything. I could call LP tomorrow, and with the things he's done in the past few weeks -- he'd lose his job.
I am worried, because I cussed at a customer when I kicked him out of the store -- that's one write up if they're looking to write me up.
And another one could be since I've been slacking on price changes.
Things are about to get heated at work. >=/
Tonight I went out with Carl.. or tried to at least. We got half way to our destination and determined that his car wouldn't make it the rest of the way so we turned around. After hanging out at his dads shop for a bit his dad picked us up and we ended up taking Carl's stepmoms Mustang into town. I stopped by work and picked up my Fable II standee and we went out to eat.
I really enjoy my time with Carl, but even when I'm with him, I always think about his ex or other situations he's put himself into. It's like I personally can't get over him leaving all of that for me. Even though the other situations happend... during the time we were talking.
idk.
 I drank my Pumpkin Spice Latte today out of the best cup ever. :)
EDIT:  Windows Mobile 6 Phones are the best :-P

I was having a pretty good day today. I went to work, got off at 4. Carl came over for a little bit. But then I got a phonecall from my manager basicly chewing me out for no good reason what so ever.
I'm so tired of his shit. Mainly because there's a double standard in the store -- and he doesn't really see it. The other keyholder doesn't do shit, and never gets yelled at. But me? I forget to do one thing out of my millon things to do in the morning and I get chewed out. Why couldn't they have done it when I left? Because they're lame. I hate GameStop. I'm going back to school. It's offical. I spent my night crying over this crap.
I've been carting around my camera more recently, I think during fall/winter I get into a phase where I just love taking photos. Here's some photos from today/yesterday;
I need to do something with my hair. My bangs are no longer bangs and my hair is such a funky color. My main goal right now, is to be back to blonde by next summer. Even if it's just a dirty blonde. So that involves me dying my hair lighter and lighter shades everytime and well some of these light browns are so ugly =/ ( Read more... ) |

I've been having some serious issues with my cellphone recently. Over the last 3-4 months everytime I go to work, I end up passing a tower that knocks my phones service out, and it's not like its a short term thing -- it goes out, until I drive up to a 3G network area, which is almost 30 minutes from my house. In which if I take the battery out and put it back in it will magicly start working agian. >=/
It's done it 6 times in the past 3 months and it's extremely hard for me to go without a phone until I get a chance to go up there. So I called AT&T in attempt to get a new phone. The phone is just faulty, it's not because the phones been dropped or anything like that. We convinced them to finally send me a new phone, (My mom was on the phone with them), and they asked what condition my phone was in -- She explained I've had my phone for 7 months so theres some light scratches on it. As soon as my mom said that they completely refused to send us a phone saying that any scratches could cause the malfunction. I got on the phone with the guy after he explained it to my mom. And I did everything but cuss at him. Finally they decided to send me another phone, but said that if there was anything with my phone they'll charge my account $280.
So today, I was suppose to get my phone, I had to get to work by 1:30, so I wasn't at the house and I assumed fedex would be smart about it. Around 8 I called my dad and he told me a story...
He got home, and found a box ripped up in the yard (Our dog Trixie had been playing with it) -- Turns out that was the box my new cellphone was in. Luckly the phone is unharmed -- But after taking my simcard out and putting it into the new phone I realize that it's not the same BlackJack2 that I had before. It's an updated version, that has a whole lot more crap on it. And the one thng I really liked about my phone was the scroll wheel. Do you remember the old Ipod wheels? How they would scroll around? Well this phone has it. But the new phone they sent me doesn't scroll very well.
I hate techonolgy. =/

Today will make it 6 months, that me and Carl have been seeing eachother. Granted I never wanted us to be like "Hi hi, be my bf?" (Which resulted in him asking me and me turned him down...) It just happend over time... I even told him about 4 months ago, that I'd never date him. =/ Even though we kinda were already seeing eachother.
We didn't exactly have the easiest begining to knowing eachother, seeing as I got punched the first night we hung out.
This has to be one of my longest no breaks relationship. My highschool boyfriend and I were together almost 3 years. But we'd date for a month, and break up for 2., date for another month break up for 3.
I'm kinda happy.

| Pumpkins and a fresh start.. |

I've decided to start up this livejournal thing again. Bare with me, I'm kind of rusty blabbering for the sake of blabbering. Alot has changed since 2005, the last time this journal was updated. But here I go...
My grandmother turned 89 today, so we had a family get together at her nursing home. Carl came along with me, and met my dads side of the family.
Since it's so close to halloween, and I hadn't carved pumpkins in almost 6 years -- Carl and I went to a pumpkin patch and picked out two pumpkins. Instead of doing the traditional pumpkins, we decided to be clever and do Star Wars symbols. Carl carved the Jedi Knight symbol, and I carved the Rebel symbol. I really had to freehand mine, because Carl used up the entire Sharpie drawing his. >=/
Here are some photos from today;
