New layout and NEW MOON!

Hello, hello!

I figured since everyone is getting their Christmas layouts up, I should too! I'm usually not a big fan of gold, but this one appealed to me! I also put some new songs on my mixpod, and changed the color scheme!
Four of the songs on there are from the New Moon soundtrack! The first song is called "Roslyn" by Bon Iver & St. Vincent. It's a hypnotic song, and probably my favorite from the entire soundtrack. Then there is "Satellite Heart" by Anya, "Meet Me on the Equinox" by Death Cab for Cutie, and "All I Believe In" by Amadao & Mariam & the Magic Numbers. "All I Believe In" is a cute song. In the movie it's played when Bella and Jacob are first fixing up the bikes and she turns off the radio. It's a bummer....she should have kept it on! ;]

After hearing that the dispatcher position was a no-go for me, Joe got me the New Moon soundtrack, Owl City's album, and the new Imogen Heap and OneRepublic albums. It made my day much better.

So...NEW MOON! OME (for those of you who don't know the lingo-that stands for Oh My Edward)! The wait was completely worth it! I went to the midnight showing with Sara and Ryan and it was so much fun! Ryan and I got a Jacob and Edward cup that was $5. That is probably the most shameless purchase I've made.

*SPOILERS! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE YET!*
Want to know my favorite part? When Jacob was telling Bella he would never hurt her, and that he would never let her down. I wanted to cry! Then the whole theater started laughing when Mike came up and said "Well...I need to go home." I have my own Jacob and his name is Joe. He had that same conversation with me when I told him I wasn't ready to date again after having my heart broken, stepped and spat on. Joe, like Jacob, was very persistent and never stopped trying. I guess it paid off, hmm? :]
I also wanted to cry when Edward was leaving Bella and saying he didn't want her. Ugh! Talk about a knife to the heart! Then it happened again when Jacob was telling her to go away and never come back! Poor Bella can't catch a break! Another favorite scene is when Jacob comes to visit her and says "The crazy part is, you already know!" When Bella proposes running away together, he looks at her and says, "I would run away with you if I could." I pretended he was saying that to me! And then he hugs her before he leaves again, "Please, please try to remember."
*END SPOILERS*
I've already seen it two times this weekend! I definitely plan on seeing it a magical third time! Now I need to read Eclipse so I can be ready for the next movie, which comes out this JUNE! They're not waiting two or three years like this Harry Potter b.s.! Summit knows the fans want to see the movies ASAP, and maybe the actors and actresses want to move on and do other projects as well!

Thanksgiving is this week! I only have to work tomorrow and Tuesday at the holiday center (which is Keller Harvel for me), and then I'm off for the rest of the week! I think I may have classes through Wednesday afternoon...I'll have to double check on that. I'll be having two Thanksgivings: one with my family and one with Joe's family. It should be fun! :D

Holiday Question!
What part of Thanksgiving are you looking forward to? Do you have a favorite dish you want to devour or is it time with family? Let me know!



Later Days!

Wednesday=Hump Day

We're half way through the week! Woo!

Today has been much better than yesterday. I guess sleeping for 7 hours yesterday, plus the 6 or 7 I got last night really helps! I've been running since 6:45 this morning. I had my dispatch test for the city of Keller, and it went well! I now get to fill out a 34-page autobiography, also known as the "personal history statement". I'm okay with filling out this packet. If I have to jump through hoops to get this position, I'll do whatever it takes!
Work with the kids was okay. Sara and I have started planning our New Moon midnight showing festivities. We'll change our clothes at work, then head straight to the theater (November 20 is a Friday, so we'll be viewing it Thursday night). I'm very, very excited!
Speaking of exciting things, I found out I can use the Navigator and Mobile Web options on my phone! They're part of my plan now! Needless to say, I updated my Twitter AND Facebook from my phone and I was enthralled. To quote Zombieland: "Rule number 32: Enjoy the little things!"
I spent some good coupleage time with Joe tonight. It was very nice, seeing as our schedules HATE each other and all. If he's not at school, he's a work. He also works the closing shift every Friday (which is til like 9:30-10pm), and every weekend. I never get to see him and this displeases me. My work schedule is pretty straight forward. Monday through Friday, 2:15-6:30, with weekends off. The first weekend I had off, I didn't know what to do with myself! I had worked in retail for a year and a half before getting hired with Clayton.

Thought/Question of the Day:
I want to stop biting my nails! Even though I have on nail polish (and a very pretty color too! Innocence by China Glaze), I still can't keep my fingers out of my mouth. Any tips out there to help me stop?

Random Gripe:
Alright, I've said this on my Facebook and Twitter, but I'm going to say it here as well.
I'M. TIRED. OF. FLAKY. FRIENDS/PEOPLE.
I really pick them don't I? Someone who says they're friends with me, then whenever I want to talk or hangout, they don't have the time. I bend over backwards to do what they want to do, or "go with the flow" and be flexible with my schedule to accommodate them. I go out of my way for birthdays, holidays and I never see any kind of appreciation or reciprocation. They call me when it's convenient for them. That's great and all, and I'll let that person vent because they need to. I'm a nice person like that, but shouldn't I get the time and respect I give to them? Have you ever done the "Are you really my friend" test with someone? I'm doing it now. I'm testing to see if I stop contacting a person, will they make the effort to call, text, or message me.
I've been doing this test for almost a week. Nothing. It's almost like a slap in the face.
I love it when people show their true colors. I suppose it's better that I learn now rather than later.


Later Days!
