Surprise Phone Call

So I get a call from an area code back home, and I pick it up, and I recognize the voice as he says hello, and introduces himself as John from Round Table Pizza. A little bit into his call (talking about some special thing they're doing this week for people on this phone list) I KNOW it's him, and he sounds so casual, I was wondering if maybe he knew who he was calling, so I asked if it was who I thought it was, and he stops, says yeah and asks who knows him on the other end of the line. I tell him it's me and he's all surprised, because he didn't think it was me (must not have my last name on the list) and he told me he was a little worried, maybe someone wasn't happy with him on my end of the line. So we talked for a little bit, about my school and housing, and his dissertation and then he let me go, since he had other numbers to call and I don't live in there anymore, so I can't use the special. It was a really nice surprise, talking to him. This guy is so cool, very intelligent and has a great wife and children.

I love these videos so much I had to share.

Miss my sisters! This California Girl is lonely in Idaho



Rrrrosella the snail Tamer/trainer. Man, that was such a long night, I kept messing up. You actually hear me say lion tamer at the end. I lost my voice so bad the next day.



I miss working on Thursday Forum with the gang. I haven't done it in a year. I'm so sad......

I wanted to post the airsoft one, but I can't, because it's not my video. Lamesauce.

We interrupt your normal blog for a demonstration of the emergency frustration alert system

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all. Thank you.

I wanna throw up

Is it possible to get sick with loneliness and anxiety? I think it might be. This grown up thing is hard.

Flowers and Chocolate!

The flowers came!


I love two toned roses! I'm so happy they came! And I think (hope!) these ones will hold up longer. They're so pretty and cheerful! Now I know why Sam always wants us to get him flowers for his room.

Also, pretty chocolates!

Job Hunting Update!

So yesterday I printed up my resume to take around, and today I did just that. Started at Taco Time and totally name dropped (For those of you who've never been in one, to me it's a mix between Del Taco and Taco Bell, but since it's Idaho Mexican food, it's worse)

Then I dropped by Gator Jacks, a Cajun themed restaurant (go ahead, guess how badly I'd like to work there) and they told me they'll probably be hiring a month or so into the semester if/when people realize they can't handle work with their school workload.

Then I stopped by Jimmy John's, a Freaky Fast Gormet Sandwich shop, where I have an interview at 10am on Thursday. I was supposed to print up an application, but I couldn't make it work so luckily they accepted the resume I had. Excited for another interview!

Then I went to Gringo's (another Mexican food place, but this one is a sit down restaurant, but I don't know if it's any better.) and it was sorta the same deal, supposed to apply online, but I couldn't get it to work, so I just gave them my application.

Stopped by Sammy's to see when Heather the Hiring Manage gets in this week, and I'll be going back Thursday at 8:30pm. I really want to work there, more than the Cajun place, it's closer to home, and I know I'd eat there, which is a factor, because every food place I've worked people have asked me my opinion of what's good, and I LOVE burgers and fries and shakes, so I'd be all to happy to give my opinion. I think it'd be perfect.

Then I made a quick stop to a place called JB's, which seems like a Marie Calendar's or an upscale Denny's. Dropped one off their, and the waitress said they'd get back to me if they started hiring.

So that was this morning. Not too exciting, but (I think) very productive. Going to go to Porter Park to read and draw once my new flowers arrive. I made a deal with a friend of mine that if I start reading and drawing more, he'll start practicing his trumpet again. Not really much incentive, but a deal is a deal. Ive got my Zentangle book that my Grandma gave me, and my Glenn Beck book. Once I finish it I'm allowing myself to read a Louis L'amour book. But not until, because then it's not reward. And with my currently very boring life, I need something to look forward to. Right now it's the Flowers, the book and my friend FINALLY coming up for the semester.

Uphill is painful

So today, for various reasons, I couldn't print up my resumes at the library. Instead I went to the Franz' and they graciously allowed me to use their printer.

It took me far longer than I excpected to, and hurt like nobody's business. I'm still not used to the thin air, or up hill bike rides.



My ankle kept hitting the pedal enough that it started to bleed. Not a lot, luckily not all over the Franz' white carpet.

When I showed up Sister Franz got me a wine glass of ice water and cold grapes. She is one of the nicest ladies I know. And her husband is pretty cool too. She even offered to let me nap on the couch, she could tell I was so tired. And her husband drove me home in his awesome truck.

And they gave me jam! Mixed berry jam!
