I filmed the service funeral for Sandy Schomig. Jack called me and said that he might not remember everything that was said at the service for obvious reasons and asked if I could film it. Of course I did. I was feeling really aggravated when the sound coming from the audio board going to my camera was distorted though. I didn’t have enough time to try and fix it either. I had to use the on camera microphone which sucks (that goes for any on-camera microphone). It was fine though. Ben came to that, and there was food afterwards (I ate a bunch of yummy fruit). I am glad I got to talk with Ben. He is awesome. I like talking with him. My niece came afterwards when we were eating. She was very energetic. Afterwards we were wanting to do something together so we decided to go to Borders like we used to back in the day. I think Tallon was bored though, which sucks. Ben, Roxiey, and I used to go a lot. We would read books aloud, mainly sex books. Not books like a novel but books that just talks about stuff, sorta like what a magazine does. This time I showed them the Post Secrets book which is where people make/write stuff on post cards of their choosing and then mail it to them. They then make a book of it. It is pretty cool. Some are more personal than others, most are funny though.

My hair is going to be gone by Tuesday night. I need to take pictures. I might try and do that tonight, or leave it for tomorrow because it is sorta late as it is. As much as I never know how to look/dress/pose/facial expressions in pictures which makes it better for me to take them alone so as to not feel nervous or embarrassed, I wish someone would help me (or want to help me). Maybe I just want to have someone to hang out with. *shrug* Only can blame myself I guess.

I did another overnight but this time it was by myself. Scanning stuff at WFM is fun (said in sarcastic, playful voice). I can’t believe they trust me in there, by myself. *shrug* I just had my headphones on and was on a roll. Checked Woot.com at midnight, but nothing good. I needed to scan so I could get more hours. I had to have someone take my Sunday shift because of the Funeral for Sandy. I might try to come back in after that but I am not sure. I still need more hours to equal what I usually get.

The vegetarian (vegan as well) cooking class went quite well tonight. It was myself, Brian M, and Lauren. This was at Whole Foods Market by the way. We got there early and cooked everything once before hand to make sure we had an idea of what we were going to say. I was fairily confident with everything until people started to arrive. I got really nervous then. Of course it was because we were teaching them something. It is very similar to a hands on speech that you would have to make in school. But also, I think I was nervous because I there were three girls there. They were all cute girls, one even my age which I had no idea that she was. She even goes to CoD. (CoD is a huge college and I rarely stay there more than I have to so I am not suprised at all that I haven’t seen her). I don’t talk to girls (specifically girls that are my age, cute, and share a same major interest as me) on a regular basis, let alone teach them. It got easier. I hope no one thought I was ignoring them though. I hope they show up next time we have a class; it would be awesome. Also, it would be cool if I saw Natalie (the girls name that was my ageish) at CoD, but unfortunately it isn’t likely. I can still hope though.

It is late, maybe I can throw I picture in later or something. Night

I have decided to attempt the position of SSI (store systems integrator) for one of the new Chicago Whole Foods Market. I just finished updating my resume and I am working on an action plan. I NEED HELP! I, for the most part, understand what an action plan is (I think). However, for the position I am going for I am at a loss.

Well, my mom has my niece, Kalysta for a few hours. They were out of things to do, Kala didn’t get much sleep last night so she is sorta grumpy, and I have work soon. Well I was leaving because I needed to drop off keys to someone and then go to Carlsons for a frame. My mom wanted to go with because they needed something to do. I was fine with that. I completely forgot that there was easter stuff going on in wheaton though.

So while driving down main street towards the tracks to turn on front street I see lots of kids and their moms and dads. Kala is still sorta grumy though. Of course, we got stopped by a train so while I am sitting there, I see kids getting easter type stuff from a store on my left. They were little flower pin wheel type things. It was a freight train so I know I will be there a while. I put the car in park, unbuckle my seatbelt and get out without really saying where I am going. I am sure my mom was thinking “where the hell is he going? He is driving!” I run over, ask nicely for a pink pin wheel and then run back to the car. After opening the car I say “Hey Kalla, look what I got you?” She perked up a little after that. We went into Carlsons, I got what I needed to and then we decided we had enough time to walk some of the streets so Kalysta could get some treats. She was half grumpy and half not (more on the not grumpy side though). Of course she was polite and cute for the people giving out gifts. She got some candy from The Popcorn Store as well.

While in The Popcorn Store, 3 girls (maybe my age or a little younger?) came in. They asked me “how does this place work?” or something like that. From what I understood, they have lived here a while but have never been in here. I was sorta blown away but of course explained it. (not that there is much explaining) “You sorta wait in line, when it finally moves up, you can put candy in your bag. If you want popcorn, you can shout it, or try and get their attention and then tell them what you want. Lots of times they will just ask if anyone wants popcorn. Once you get to the counter, they count your candy and you pay.”

Today was sort of wasted. Went to the store with my mom: that was okay. Didn’t do to much around the house like I wanted to on my day off. I was going to have dinner with two friends, one of which blew us off. Anger was felt, words said, and we decided to go to the Diner instead. It was awesome though. I was nervous in a way, but it was cool. Before all this though I locked my keys in the car at WFM on Cicero. It took me a while but I picked it and we were off. We talked more about work stuff then went home. I am thinking about doing something Saturday that would never have crossed my mind if someone hadn’t asked me if I was going to do it. I still don’t know if I will but I might. I don’t know if it would be bad to or not. Decisions decisions. Well the day and night is over with, off to a dreamless sleep.

sooo excited on the inside about the suprise I had. *smile*

Well…I don’t know if giddy is a word…but if not, it is now. I seem to have someting to look forward to every day now. I sorta like it. No, not even sorta; I DO like it. It is a new sense of…I don’t want to say hope, but maybe desire, or thirst. Thirst sounds vampire-like…I like it. I hope it will last. *looks down toward feet)

Yes, I know. I am still working on the Biger story, of when he went to Germany. Soon enough. Until then though I am off of school till January. I might just end up working more though. I will try and relax, but I have so much to still do. To catch up on and such. I need to finish cleaning my room, maybe start on the other room, where a lot of my stuff still is. I hope to have my room clean, and a good portion of the other room clean before going back to school. I want to have another computer set up in the other room for my mom to use very soon. I want to permanently make this computer my studio computer. The computer I do all my work, my editing on. Hope it all works out.

I think I might have decided on my “trip” this coming May. Very few might know what I am talking about. I think I might go with my sister. She really wants to go, and is happy that I want to go as well. I just need to get more information about it now. I am in an upper mood because of that, and the many things that relate to it. (try and figure out what that is supposed to mean *smiles*)

After closing my laptop to come inside, I looked up of course before entering my house. I was looking at the stars and the first thing I saw was the little dipper. hmm…I wonder if that confirms that someone else was looking at the stars. Or, more likely, the little dipper means more to me than I know about. Or it is just a set of stars in a design.
