It's lonely being a vampire [02 Dec 2008|05:43am] I have successfully finished my second graveyard shift! And of course now I can't sleep. Pretty sure Kayla's alarm will be going off in a few minutes on full blast, and about a hundred times before she wakes up :) Having this job feels like my brain switched back on. Cooking and banquet serving are such a different type of working. I've gone from hands on work involving timing and quantities and physical strength to punching in numbers, pleasantly waking up weary travelers and scanning receipts into a computer. " Now Sarah, you forgot to say 'have a delightful day' at the end of that phone call." But don't get me wrong, this isn't to complain, it's just different. Working in three departments can only benefit me! And being so busy has finally ended my summertimeallthetime mindset. I can feel my lungs getting cleaner already. I don't really see this post going anywhere else, just wanted to get a few words rare words out. And a shout out to C-unit because I miss her so. oh, and it feels good to have dark hair again. 3 +_-

I HAVE TO ADMIT [30 Sep 2008|09:05pm] [ mood | Perplexed ] I was reading Perezhiltom.com and "FAME by David Bowie came up on my Shuffle. +_-

[08 May 2008|01:52pm] After sitting here for well over an hour and switching back and forth to screens that never change, letting music throw me around emotionally, I have concluded nothing. Didn't take that job, half regret it because of unforeseen circumstances. Thinking about getting a second job for the summer now. I don't know why I make myself so busy and complain about it later. Actually, maybe because right now I'm complaining about doing nothing, weird. I think I'm going to give up on academics. After those six weeks of pointless stations like "operations manager" which is big words for sit in the storeroom and make new students count things. I'll have my AA so whatever. +_-

sometimes [02 May 2008|08:18am] On days like today, I drink coffee when I have not in awhile. Now my mind is racing and im typing faster than I thought possible. Many events as of late are causing me stress, what a surprise. I haven't smoked in an estimated month because I was thinking I was going to take this new job. Now, after two interviews I am doubting it all because of money. What are the pros and cons of taking a 2.00/hour pay cut just to have the name "Earth and Ocean" under my belt? The good things that could come out of it would be that I could once again be motivated and actually interested in food, moving up from a prep cook to a line cook, learning a lot of new techniques, working with new people. But maybe there is a lot more things I can take advantage of at the Westin and I'm just not doing it. Kara is leaving to have her baby and Molly is leaving in a few months to go back to Minnesota. So taking initiative and demanding to work in Garde Manger could be the better tactic. Not forgetting that I have settled in so much there, I get tons of free stuff and have become better at delegating tasks to make my life easier. Business is slow now that Microsoft canceled so many parties. And soon they will be doing Bill Gates retirement party. HM. But a year and a half at one job is sooooo long! wtf this sucks. What else can I talk about... I'm in a big slump at school. The last two days were the first time I've done real homework in about a year. maybe more since I didn't really do homework in highschool. South Seattle can be such a downer. But the month of May is looking very inviting. Courtney is back in two days! I'm going to San Fransisco for a weekend and Sasquatch the weekend after that. My birthday is on a Wednesday, but I don't really know how to celebrate being 20 anyway. Other future trips I am planning include Taipei, Taiwan with Grace in early September to see her Dad, and Aquas Calientes, Mexico later the same month to go to this lady's sister's wedding I barely know. But a week long party with her huge family sounds like something I can't miss. Ok, miss you all. goodbye 2 +_-

broadcast [12 Feb 2008|02:57am] Just to keep tabs on everything. you know. I moved out to U-district. It's unusual, but hasn't really sunk in. Finishing the first half of school next quarter but I'm on a hiatus right now because of too many sleep in days :x But that bachelors program is only two days a week! So it will be back to daytime shifts at work, that's my niche. Although being a line cook has made me so tough. I miss so many people and all I want is to hear stories, observe you all in your new endeavors. But I also want make more memories and rekindle the love. I think you all understand. Being 19 is so confusing. 6 +_-

lolz [13 Dec 2007|01:35am] WOOT is officially in the dictionary. what a triumph. I feel lucky to grow up in this era :) +_-

[20 Nov 2007|08:47am] Instead of going to class I like to sit in the library even though I'm already at school and might as well go. Aside from work I think this is going to be a good week. I have to work on Thanksgiving but I'm keeping positive. It was really nice to see Steffie again and nice to sit in a creepy park with her and tara talking about life. Hope to see everyone Wednesday! 2 +_-

[13 Nov 2007|02:59am] I'm cleaning my room and came across my yearbooks... And at first I was sad looking at the one from senior year, because about 5 people signed it and most of them were random. BUT. Now that I think about it, people signed the ones from previous years and that was probably when I knew you best so whatever. Not to mention its just a book. duuuuude its been longer than I thought. +_-

whats done is done [08 Nov 2007|11:54am] I am officially dropping my english class. It's a lot harder then I thought admitting that I just can't handle all of this workload. It just really sucks. And it doesn't really make anything easier anyway because I have a hugeHUGE project due in 4 weeks anyways. But it is true that everything will be ok because life just is what it is. To be honest I'm pretty depressed, but not in a 'i wish i was dead' way. More of like a 'i just want happiness no matter what it takes' way. Something that has made me feel better is seeing what everyone else is doing with their lives. Even from afar, lurking on the internet it's really cool that so many people we know have just done absolutley what they wanted and its working for them. It's awesome kayla, that you got that internship and you are doing such beneficial things. And I am really proud of you Steffie for getting to go to Prauge, its obviously going to be lifechanging. And Courtney you seriously did move to New York where you can basically do anything and your internship seems really cool. And the list goes on. Anyways, i just feel like a majority of the time i think about these things and i think that you know i think them but then i realize you can't know i think that unless i actually tell you.hahahahaha that was a good sentence. whatever. being sick makes you weird. 3 +_-

psychotic rant, just being honest [05 Nov 2007|10:34am] if i ever see that dumb bitch in the red volvo with a nasty orange perm, i will run her off the fucking road. I almost wish i DID run off the freeway because then she could feel like shit and i would feel better and not have to deal with all this other stuff. I mean really, who goes the same speed as a semi in the left hand lane, then brake checks you, goes 50 mph, then runs you off the road when you try to pass them!?? stupidstupidstupidstupidbitch!

[23 Oct 2007|03:03am] Today was the worssssst! Had a firedrill at work when we are getting ready for a 500 person banquet, left a pot of hot butter out which spilled all over my chef's hand and an ambulance came ( so embarrassing,) then HILARYCLINTON orders room service and I make a beautiful salad and she cancels her order. I wanted to leave a secret message on the plate under the salad haha. This is the eighth day straight I have worked and I am zombiefied. Here I am sweating and lifting pans and getting orders out, and some guy in a suit will wander by and laugh and say "busy day huh? I'm tired too."...wtf. Or how about when I ran to the other end of the dining hall to push a queen mary full of dishes and there are 5 banquet servers sitting on thier ass eating rolls making 20$ an hour. BUT for some laughs, here is a copy of the "kitchen Manifesto" from Chef Steve at work. ( This is how he really talks... ) 6 +_-

Am I crazy? [15 Oct 2007|07:39am] I'm considering going to Spokane for halloween to see Modest Mouse. That is, if anyone else wants to go. many pros and cons but its something to think about. 3 +_-
