Basically the opposite of complaining...any highlights to your day?

It was my first day of work today which I was both dreading and excited about, and normally I'm really quiet and reserved, especially for the first day, but I was actually quite social Hooray for stepping out of the box and having people embrace my presence!

I found out I am going to Chicago in August... yay Chicago!

Where are you working Aerdna? I work at Starbucks now and I have to be overly friendly which is a huge step in the opposite direction from lifeguarding (my job last summer) and I had a good day today so I'm happy

It was my second day at my Summer Placement, and I'm really liking it. I mean I know that my normal job is also in a Pharmacy, but its nice to work with other people (and realising that other shops have issues too hehe!), and the staff are really nice, and the pharmacist is very helpful and I'm learning new stuff which is also good!
My only issue is that my feet are killing me, but on the up point Subway is only down the road so I don't have to walk far for lunch!

good to see a happy thread. i shall pitch in. I actually made a resolution this year to cease whining adn general negativity. I was getting a reputation as a total ass in the office.
Problem is when you make a resolution like that suddenly all these total challenges seem to come up to test your resolve

well i just got contacted on my Myspace by a friend in Miami who i havent seen for like 12 years. So might go over and stay with her for a while. havent been to Miami since 16 years old and Disneyland
it was also my birthday this week.
Admiral

Yay, I'm tanning...a little. *needs more sun*



Overly friendly? The people at my Starbucks' are mean! I got shunned today by one of the Starbucks employees

I'm working at this organization that coordinates arts events in my county. The twelve of us chosen for the job are "photojournalists" and are going around our city taking pictures making a documentary of "a city at work" (or as I describe it, being an amateur stalkerazzi ). The end product is an exhibit. Seems easy but getting good pictures without looking sketchy is a bitch.



Happy belated Birthday Owen Glad you were successful in your resolution I try to make some all the time, but I never follow through. Lack of will power I suppose, or maybe I just don't take it serious enough.

Really? I guess that's how it is at some stores but my store is really obsessed with having the best customer service (still a bit hard for me)



Wow seems difficult but amazingly fun and rewarding..I would love to do that, good luck finding the perfect shots

thank you kindly

youre a New Yorker right? Cant think of a better photo assignment thatn NYC. Hye try and shoot some 'Heroes' locations (was it filmed on location, at least for some of it? Is Kirby plaza real?

Kirby Plaza is fake and the real location is in LA (it was in a dockers commercial which had me greatly amused)

!!! and there i was convinced id seen the real thing in NYC
I guess they must have shot some of it in New York, I;d hope so, im not a fan of stock footage (like CSI NY isnt filmed remotely in New York despite it being a NYC copy show)

Nope they do all their filming in New York

By the way Happy Fourth of July to those in the US

No, I don't live in NYC, I live in a suburb outside of NYC. Although, it is kind of turning into a mini-NYC

*waves flag* Happy Independence Day!

Happy ID day
i live with 2 americans so i know its a good holiday to be having

Hopefully I'm doing something fun for the holiday, though I haven't quite figured out what just yet

I never even have fireworks or anything anymore on Independence Day, it kinda bites. But I look forward to it, sorta kinda, because pretty much every year it rains here on the fourth of July. It's very cool.

And also, there's been a peacock from somewhere strutting about our neighborhood. He was at my house yesterday morning, then I was talking to one of my friends who lives about 9 blocks (maybe more, dunno) away, and she said that the peacock was on her neighbor's roof, and that she named him Lester. And then later on he was on MY roof.
So now I've decided to write about the fantastic adventures of Lester the Peacock.

I just saw Evening with my mom, great film..I sort of prefer doing something like that over watching fireworks (pretty lights in the sky don't amuse me so much)

Same here, I find them rather annoying, I was yelling and ranting on about the loud pops and such when I was trying to sleep.

Yeah, I'm not that into fireworks either. I missed the annual fireworks at my high school this year, but I don't care too much, even though it would've made for some great pictures. Only the last two five minutes are worth watching of a whole half hour display. It gets old really fast.

Yay for another good day at work Good times. And I got 90 or higher on all my regents, yahoo!

I got the Transformers and the Serenity soundtracks, and both are really really good. Now I want to skate to one of the songs from Serenity.

What kind of music is on the Serenity soundtrack? I've been thinking about getting it my self. Loved the movie

Well, if the Serenity soundtrack has the Firefly theme song on it, worth the money for me. Can't take the sky away from me!

Ah, highlights recently? Not many.

It doesn't have the theme song but there MIGHT be a Firefly soundtrack too...I'll have to look that up, because the theme song is awesome.


It's just the score from the movie, by David Newman. All the sad music and the jaunty awesome music that's a combination of all different types of music and culture. It's really good, if you like that sort of thing.
And Serenity is definitely my favorite movie.

I love score's and the muisc is serenity was pretty awesome, so I think I might track it down. Thanks.

You won't regret buying it

Ahh I have one more day to work, then it is the start of the Harry Potter Extravagansa weekend! The book, the movie, my best mate (also obsessed HP fan) our favourite Indian restaurant, shopping.......oh its heaven times 1000 in my eyes!

Yay for Harry Potter! I'm so excited to go see the movie this Friday and then get the book at the midnight release party that night..even though I can't read the book until Tuesday (cause I'm working all Saturday, Sunday, and Monday) it'll be exciting to know that I have the conclusion to my favorite series

Snap at the excitement! We are going to see the movie on Saturday, the 9pm showing, cause then hopefully there is less chance of it being full of little kiddies!
I'll get the book that morning, my mate is getting it at an midnight release party I believe and reading it on the train down to see me lol. I have given her strict instructions not to tell me anything that she has read if I haven't started reading it by the time we meet!

Lol I don't know what I am more excited about, Harry Potter or missing two days of work

I wouldn't mind missing work for Harry Potter, would make things so much easier for me

Just a good day at work I think I got some really good photos. However, it's ultimately up to my boss to decide if it's good enough And, good times man, good times.

Glad to hear about the good photos, you didn't happen to run into any more naked models did you?

Haha! No, I think I won't be seeing any more naked models for a while

I thought I'd bump this up. *bump*

Well, it's supposed to be nice weather on Saturday...yay! My party won't be ruined by rain! *tilts head and remembers her 13th b-day*

So I finished one of my summer reading books (The Scarlett Letter) and I'm making nice progress with Jane Eyre, so I should be done by the time school starts on Wednesday

I bought a pair of (RED) Converses.

I've just bought a HD TV for my bedroom and I love it.



I'm addicted to those things. I've got black canvas, black leather, white canvas,
white leather, navy canvas, a darker navy canvas that has a worn look, all black canvas,
gray canvas and khaki green canvas. All hi-tops of course. I'm addicted to shoes in
general. I have loads of pairs of Adidas trainers and Nike Dunk SB's as well.

I'm addicted to them also. I have a pair of blue high tops that go from dark to light blue (I've drawn all over them, they're sexy) and I have low tops (they didn't come in high tops...damn them!) that have sheep all over them. I used to have blue and green velour high tops but one of the tongues was shorter than the other and always slid down. It was annoying.

It's beautiful out today! Suck it local weatherpeople!

I love my job..and that makes me happy

I think I'm out of my drawing slump because I finished a chibi of The Doctor from Doctor Who. I just want to take him off the paper and hug him, he's so cute!!!!

Congrats! That's good news

Aww, I love little chibis. They're adorable.


I just finished an AWESOME painting that took a loooong time to finish (I posted in the whine thread that it was stolen once, but obviously I got it back). I am very proud of this one. It's of a marionette that was inspired by Gounod's "Funeral March of a Marionette".

It's kind of hard to explain in detail (as an artist I find it always hard to explain), but listen to that song (particularly the Mannheim Steamroller Halloween version) and those with intense imaginations can visualize it.

I love listening to songs and imagining things that could go with them. Once I was listening to something and thought of mutant aligator people rising from the depths of a swamp.

I'm going to try to learn how to make chibi plushies (eventually) because I want to make some SO BAD.

For the first time since...never, I kept true to a promise Yatta!

My campus has two microwaves!! Yay, freedom.

I found my library card, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal but it was pretty random since I lost it like 6 months ago and I would have to pay to replace it so that makes me happy

I got up at 6:30 this morning and didn't die!!

Me too!!!

Yay for us!!

Congrats! I got up at 5:30

I barely have any homework and I don't have to work tonight! Double yay!

Yay! This morning I got up at 5:45 and still managed not to die! And all I've got for homework is a really easy english assignment in a workbook. I'm such a freak, I actually took notes all day long On teachers, vocab words, supplies, everything...
