Random shit because I'm a slacker and don't post every day like I'd like to!

This week has been fairly uneventful. Besides all the papers and other crap that is due, I've been a very boring person. Tuesday night, however was a nice change of pace. The "Girl Scout Camp" girls got together at the Biologist's house. Tuesday was her last day working for a soul-sucking company and we were excited about celebrating! I got there a little late because I had to work, but time spent with these girls is always relaxing and exciting. Never a dull moment, to say the least.

Last night was my Reality TV night. I have to admit that I've kind of addicted to America's Next Top Model and Project Runway. They aren't as exciting this season as they've been in the past, but I still have to watch. Usually I work on Wednesday, so I have to Tivo it and watch it later. On top of these shows, Lipstick Jungle premiered. If you're not into this show, you should definitely look up last season and start watching. I absolutely love this show!

Tonight I worked until about 12:30 and then got the hell out of dodge so I could come home and write this 2 page paper about Betty Friedan. Has it been written yet? Of course not! BTW. If you're not familiar with Betty Friedan, you need to be. Major part of Women history. She wrote The Feminine Mystique and several other things. Pretty much amazing!

Work was interesting. We were pretty slow so that gave me the opportunity to talk to one of my crack head co-workers. We'll call her Xanax girl--because she takes one every THREE hours. She frequently comes in to work because her life has fallen apart and her boyfriend who is 10 years older than her (and one of our line cooks) mooches off of her--doesn't give her a penny for rent etc. Tonight she was hysterical (which isn't unusual) and was frantically scratching her chest. She wants to kill herself and her bf, she said. If only I weren't crazy he would love me she said. The story is fairly complex, but bottom line is that she needs to ditch this guy so she can be healthy again.

*Steps on soap box*

Ladies--- Please, please, please. Never say you can't live without someone. You can! We don't need people to complete us. If we aren't happy with who we are, then we sure as hell can't try to maintain a healthy relationship with someone.

*Steps off soap box*

I worry about her for this reason. We aren't close friends, but I care about her well-being. She doesn't think she has anyone here in this town and is contemplating moving back to where she's from to escape the problems. The sad part is she moved here to move away from her problems at home.

It's women like this that make me want to become some sort of therapist.

Hope ya'll have a good weekend! I'll be working the whole time! Possibly 50 cent drafts tomorrow night at a local bar with J, but we'll see!

P.S. Please keep Classy in your thoughts...

Forizzle?

Is it already the 7th? What the heck happened to August and the other part of my summer. I'm two weeks into school and already I have an entire list of homework crap that I've had to prioritize. I'm supposed to be writing a Sociology paper about Modernity and Tradition--can they survive without each other. I know. You're thinking, "Woo!" So yeah, supposed to be 3-5 pages, will probably be 3. I kind of have to finish it before I go to work tonight, so I'm procrastinating.... that always gets the job done! :)

Thanks for the responses on the gender perception! I totally agree with all 3 of you!! I'm interested in what the rest of my classmates talk about next week when we discuss this topic. If it's anything like the online discussion forum that we've had, the discussion in class will be LAME. Teachers who really know how to direct discussion are few and far between.

Last weekend was the biggest Labor Day fireworks show in the South! Classy, Diva, and I went to stand amongst the crowds for an hour and a half until the big show started! Afterward, we went to the bar that we love and spent too much money. Nothing but pure relaxation.... and some karaoke watching. A few more beverages and I would have been up there singing "No Scrubs" or some other ridiculous song. We had a blast even though I didn't get to participate in the karaoke festivities!

Has anyone heard of someone asking for their chicken mid-rare before????? Well, last night was a first for me. While working, a particular server came up to me to explain how her table, who had an IQ of ZERO combined, asked for their chicken mid-rare. Besides being illegal, she explained how they can't do that because of salmonella. "You mean you can't cook that any other way?" the lady with the southern drawl asked. Um, no. For real??? A. the server told me that she seriously thought she was being Punk'd. People never cease to amaze, ya know?

Off to finish this paper, I suppose I have procrastinated enough and I'm out of stupid stories to tell! Except for this.....

There's this guy at work, not Sir Jerkoffalot, but another guy who used to live with Sir Jerkoffalot. He recently got kicked out of his house and had to move somewhere else, but that's besides the point. He's a complete loser, sells coke, I'm sure of it, and is a whore. For some reason he thinks he can touch any female in the place, which is kind of surprising because everyone thinks that he's quite homosexual (which isn't a bad thing, but this guy can get laid at a snap of a finger and isn't attractive one bit---I don't understand guys like that.) This is the same guy I punched in the throat a few months ago. He told one of my friends that she looked pregnant. Um.. walking up to a girl and rubbing your hand on her belly asking when she's due is sure to get you punched. Okay, I was drunk, so the punch wasn't in the arm like it probably should have been. My inebriated self punched him in the THROAT. Oh he was pissed. At a later drunken date I apologized. Last week I successfully punched him again. This time in the arm. This time no alcohol. Dude grabbed my boob. Yeah. My boob. As quick as he grabbed I punched. He was all, "Roxie, that hurt.. wahhhh", I'm all like, Don't fucking touch me again, Douchebag. Next time it'll be the face. Hopefully, he's learned his lesson. Hopefully.

As I leave you with that story, I hope you all have a fabulous Sunday afternoon. Enjoy the football and think of me while I'm at working bussing tables and attempting to be nice to the people who walk in the front door! :)
