So people have been wonderin why I deleted almost all of my itunes. Basically, because it is stealing, which is wrong. I don't really know what made me think about it. I guess it's one of those things where people's attitudes are somethin like... "Yeah, I know it's stealing, and I would hate it if someone did that to me, but I can get this stuff for free, and the artist wouldn't know, and it wouldn't really hurt them, and this stuff is so dang expensive, and I can't spend all my money on music, so I'm just not gonna think about it." The only thing is that the fact that I KNEW it was stealing kept entering my brain, particularly when I was journalling, and especially during worship. Ya know how freakin annoying that is?! Here I am, trying to worship God, and one of my buried sins keeps resurfacing. So during worship I was struggling with it, and this thought entered my mind... Choose: my few thousand stolen songs, or my relationship with Christ . So yeah, that was when I decided to obliterate 90% of my itunes. It kinda sucks, and I had to go buy a few CDs coz I couldn't bear to part with some of the music I stole, but my concience is clear, and there's nothin in the way of my relationship of God.

Hi...this is Elise...and yeah, I basically hacked into Chad's Myspace 2night because he was on my computer at my house and forgot to sign out of myspace. (so that's how i hacked your myspace Chad.) Yea, so this is the evidence that I conquered Chad's myspace. By the way, when we played poker tonight, I basically dominated the entire game...but I think that it was mostly beginners luck because I don't know if it's normal to get three of a kind 3 times in a row. Anyway, I hope you likeyour new myspace Chad...I am AWESOME!!!
Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

So I figured it's been too long since I've blogged, and I need to do another one. And heck, what else am I gonna do after I had 2 mountain dew energy drinks (is it just me or does that seem redundant?) and I can't sleep.
So... today was awesome. School went by as usual. There was a blood drive (actually, that's not so usual is it?). I was bummed that they couldn't stick needles in my veins because I went to Central America over the summer, so I have to wait a whole year to watch my blood be sucked from my arm. Dag, that means no shirts or movie tickets. But it was enjoyable making fun of people who were nervous about it. lol. I got my blood tested at least a dozen times while I was on accutain, and after the first 4 or 5, I couldn't even feel em stick the needle in. By the 6th time, it was a pleasant experience. I mean cummon, it's not every day you get to see blood squirt into a tube right in front of you. It's better than TV I tell you. So that was sweet.
We got to ditch 7th period (PE, oh joy.) because we went to this thing called rocknasium. Its basically this thing where you go and hook up to ropes and stuff and you climb on rocks and repel down and stuff. My arms are 'freakishly long' as they put it, so climbing up rocks is a breeze for me, even when you go at a slant that works against you. Oh, and I was the only guy 8D. So that rocked. hah, get it? ROCKnasium. Holy crap. I've been spendin way too much time in Senior History. So anyways, the muscles in my forearms have death in them. That is, they are sore. OH and my veins hecka popped out when I was climbing. It was sweet! I'll prolly have some pictures soon. Of us climbing, I mean, not of my veins. Hey, maybe my veins too. Ya never know. So that was today, and it was fun. I need to do a philosophical blog soon. I'm feelin one of those commin on.

Dude, I had the awesomest day at work the other day. Seriously. I mean sure it was kinda slow and stuff, but I was not bored. Ever. It was awesome. It went somethin like this...
So I get to work and sign in, and the first car we wash gives us a $15 tip, which is freakishly huge, esp considering that our most expensive carwash is less than half that. So that was cool.
Then this guy in a blue (at least I think it was blue...) corvette thing came through. So we tell him to put his antenna down, and he does. A few seconds later, he puts it back up. So we're like, what the heck, you idiot? So we tell him to put it down again, and he does. Then we take him into the garage thing, and we start to wash the next car. So I hear this certain click that the carwash makes whenever it's time for me to guide the car out, so I go guide him out, and his antenna had snapped. So he put it up again. After I told him not to. Twice. So I was basically like aha! Sucks for him! But then he parked his car and started cussin us out, even tho there's a fat sign that says ANTENNAS DOWN, as well as one that says DUE TO THE WIDE VARIETY AND CONDITION OF VEHICLES, CARWASH IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO VEHICLES. So the guy in the corvette made up some story about how I lead him out while the carwash was still goin and it made his antenna snap. Me and the other worker figured it out, and basically we would have had to lead him out over a full minute early, and lead the next car in while it was in the middle of the waxing cycle. And since neither of us was covered in wax, his story basically was a load of crap. So yeah, that was pretty sweet.
Then these two gay guys came in and got out and watched us wash their car... they were all like..... . And I was all like.... . dag, they need an smily that shoots his face off. So yeah, that wasn't overly pleasant.... they didn't even tip us either.
Ah, here comes the best part. I jus love teenage drama, ya know? So yeah, these two girls came in to wash their truck. Then these 3 guys came in, and flirted with the two girls. So yeah, they all giggled for about a half hour or so while they washed thier truck and stuff. So I leave for like, 20 seconds, and come back, and wow. I totally missed somethin good. The girls were screamin and cussin at one guy and the one guy was screamin at both of them, and oh man, you guys shoulda seen it! I caught a bit of the convo (actually the whole thing, along with everyone else at the carwash with as loud as they were) and it went something like this:
BF: "I didn't F*** her!"
GF: "Yes you did! She told me!"
BF: "Wool she's F*** lying!"
GF: "Why would she F***ing do that?!"
BF: "I don't know!"
GF: "I KNOW you F***ed her!"
BF: "I didn't! F*** her!"
GF: "You did F*** her!"
BF: "FINE! Only one F***ing time!!"
GF: "Wait, you DID F*** her?!?!"
BF: " Oh F***."
GF's Friend: "Now jason, if you do it one F***ing time, it's still technically f***ing her"
BF: *grabs GF's purse/arm*
GF: F***********!!!!!!!!!
BF: F*** you, B****!!
GF: Get the F*** off my F***ing purse you F*** A** (whoa, never heard that one before )
BF: F F F F F F BOMB *runs off to his car with purse, jumps in, peels out of the carwash*
GF: *bursts into tears*
Me, in the background, outta sight:
So yeah, that was my awesome day at work. 8P My life is awesome!!

Work and Stuff...

Yeah yeah... for those of you who don't know (basically almost of you actually) I got a job. It's at Churn Creek Car Wash. It's basically AWESOME. k, so basically here's how it goes: Person A greets the customer while person B sprays bug juice on the front of the car and sprays the other side and the back down with water. Person A wraps up with the customer and spray their side, grab a brush, and scrub thier side, while Person B brushes his side, the back, and usually the hood. Person A and B finish at about the same time, and one of them works on the bugs on the bumper, mirrors, and windshield, while the other works on the rims. Then Person A guides the previous car out of the car wash machine thing while person B sprays off the back, and guides the first car into the machine thing, then it starts all over.
So ok, I work with Jesse, Nick, Thomas, and Kyle. I worked with the first 3 for my first three days. They're awesome and I love workin with em yada yada yada. Since I'm a newbie (or however you spell that), they don't have to split tips with me because supposedly newbies are in the way more than anything. But aparently i have this.... gift.... haha for washin cars, coz I work my butt off and they all split tips with me. So my first three days were great, Mon and Tues I made like 3 bucks an hour in tips, Wed I made 6 bucks an hour JUST IN TIPS. Pretty sweet. I walked home with 35 bucks in my pocket. In tips. It made me very very happy, and I took Hilary to see a movie that night lol.
So day four comes around (yesterday) and I go to the car wash and stuff. I work for the first hour and a half with Jesse, we worked our butts off, split tips, and I got 7 bucks, which wasn't bad good coz it was kinda a slow day. Then Jesse leaves, and I work with kyle. Holy crap. That guy is the biggest asshole. Seriously dude. He would give me so much crap about the littlest things. Like he started complaining about how I was doing short strokes with my brush and how I needed to do long strokes. I tried that, but it didn't work as well, so I went back to the short strokes. He jumped on me for it and I basically said that my way worked better for me, which kinda pissed him off. EVERYTHING he said to me was sarcastic. Dale had me work on this excel spreadsheet with jesse, and kyle came in and said "hey chad, we don't play on the computer, common, get to work" Jesse jumped on him tho, so that was cool.
Jus a side note... kyle's supposed to be the computer guy or w/e. But since I used the same program in yearbook all year long, I know how to do everything literally twice as fast as he does, which also ticks him off. He's kinda chunky too, so and he doesn't wash cars nearly as fast as most people, so I was goin faster than him, which ticked him off and made him look like a slacker. He told me to do a few things that my boss told me not to do, and told me not to do a few things my boss told me to do, and when I said "hey umm... my boss told me I wasn't supposed to do that..." He'd say somethin along the lines of "well I don't give a f*** about dale". So I dunno. Like I wanna say somethin to dale, but I have no idea how to do it or what to say or how not to look like a tatle tale. Also, he made me do all the dirty work, like clean out the vaccuums (trust me, it's a crappy job), and in the end, after I worked twice as hard as he did and did all the dirty work, he didn't split the tips with me. He also kinda takes pride in bein a jerk too. he mentioned to me "yeah, I'm pretty much the biggest pain in the ass to work with around here... I have basically no patience, I'm suprised they didn't warn you. You'll learn to deal with it" Yeah... great team player. So yeah, everything about the carwash is great, cept for the part with I'm workin with him bout 1/3 of the time, which SUCKS. most of the guys treat me like, a team player and teach me stuff and stuff. He basically treats me like his personal piss on slave. It sucks.... so yeah, I have no idea how I'm gonna talk to my boss about his. So yeah, there's my work life for ya. It's good money, hard work, and good people.... for the most part.
