Goodnight, for now

Goodnight, my loyal NSA agent and those of you out there that actually read my blog!

My blogging game has been very off lately..

I feel kinda bad about that. I promise to deliver at least five posts per day, and as many as possible when I'm in Nova Scotia. I won't have my laptop, so that'll be iffy. Same with when I'm in New York. I don't know if I'll be bringing my laptop with me on the trip. But other than that I promise to be more consistent with my posting.
I kinda want to make my mac and cheese right now. That'd be great.

Or maybe I want a snack. I just don't know.
A part of me also wants to play some sort of video game. I dunno, I'm feeling some type of way right now.
Blargh I'm bored.
I'm so glad I have my laptop back again! I've missed it!!!!
Also, I really want to watch The Corpse Bride.
In other news, I got accepted into the National Society of High School Scholars, but my mom might not let me actually join because she doesn't want to pay the membership fee.

Work Story!!!!

There was a really shitty four-year-old that I had to deal with today, though. 'Twas not all fun and games!

So we have to size as many kids' feet as possible, and I was helping this particular mother with her son's shoes. While I was helping her and carrying her stuff to the register, her little kid practically screams "MOMMY I DON'T LIKE HER SHE'S UGLY!" 
I thought, "Well I don't like you either you little shit, so I think that makes us even."

As I'm ringing up the shoes, this kid runs to the nearest rack of shoes and knocks it down, just to spite us all.
I just got back from my second round of real work! About an hour of it was reading stuff for training, but the rest of the time I got to sell things. I really really really enjoy the work! Even the little things like sweeping and straightening racks of shoes are less mundane just because of the people who work there.
Andy loaned me Earth: The Book to read, and it's really fantastic. The writers of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart wrote it. It's absolutely hilarious, and I like it a lot!
I just found out that I won't be able to do my favorite drama camp this summer. It's a bit of a bummer, but I am going to be getting really really really really busy. After all, I head to Nova Scotia next Wednesday! And about two weeks after that I'm going to New York for a little while. With work on top of all of that, I won't really have the time to do it. Bleh I need days to not be only 24 hors long.

RECIPE OF THE DAY YAY!!!!!!

Double Chocolaty Chip "Frappucino"

When I worked at Starbucks, one of the nice things about it was that I could make drinks whenever I wanted and I got them for free! I really miss drinking the Chai lattes and mixing up unique Frappucinos. Recently, I figured out how to basically make a double chocolatey chip Frappucino, and I'm really glad I did!  This version is also a lot healthier than the Starbucks version because a normal Frappucino uses whole milk and gobs of sugary syrups made with who-knows-what chemicals. Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of Milk (I used 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 1/4 cup of chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup
  • About 1 cup of ice
  • 1/8 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Procedure:

Throw it all in a blender and blend it!!!!! To thicken it up, add another ice cube or two, and a little more chocolate syrup.


Plus, once I turn 18 and can get AdSense, I'll be doing much better financially! During the school year (if I get hired part-time), my work would be primarily on the weekends so I'd get fewer hours. But once I finished up my AP tests and whatnot, I'd be able to devote a lot more time to working! I really really really really hope I get hired on even longer.

Job update

So yesterday was my first day working. I'm really liking the job a lot! I love greeting all the customers and putting stickers on things and having inside jokes with my coworkers over our radio headsets and all of that fun stuff. The coworkers so far are super friendly, and I like everyone a lot. Everybody jokes around a lot, but it's never done in a mean-spirited way. At Starbucks, the worst part of the job was the people I worked with, so this is a great improvement. One girl at Starbucks even put a spider in my jacket, it was rough! I'm also getting paid a bit more than I was at Starbucks.
The job only lasts for a guaranteed 90 days, but if things work out they'll hire me on part-time, which would include a raise! I really really like this job, and I really want to hold on to it.

PRAISE THE BASED GOD I HAVE A LAPTOP CHARGER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
