2:15 am - Not that it matters but my friday five this week
|
1) How do you feel about people who commit suicide? Such as, do you feel that they are too lazy to deal with life, have depression, do you feel sorry for them, etc.?
I dont think that those who commit suicide are simply to lazy to deal with life, but I do feel that they weren't strong enough to deal with life. I believe the main cause is depression or sudden extreme experiances that they can't deal with cause a person to commit suicide. I feel sad for them because they didn't realize that no matter how bad things seem, it isn't the end of the world or the need to end their own life. (As for terminally ill people who end their life, perhaps they chose the strong way out for themselves...instead of going in pain, they went out on their own terms not hooked to machines to help their final moments.)
------
2) What do you think people say about you behind your back?
I could care less what people say about me behind my back. Odds are its not true and if it is then whatever. If they feel the need to talk about me behind my back must mean I am interresting to them and they have nothing better to do.
------
3) If you could own and operate any major business, what would it be?
Since alot of my experiance is in some form of retail that is where I would go. I see so many different things wrong with every place I have worked that would make a buisness so much better, but impossible to do in corporate opperated stores or even privately owned ones...you have to own your own store to do anything about the situations.
------
4) Are you/would you be embarrassed to talk to your friends or family about sex?
Family a little bit still. Just my grandparents (they raised me) more so. Its hard for me to let go the "Im still a little girl" image for them. Yet, they know I am active and even live with my boyfriend. As for talking to my friends about it...that is like an always occurance. Dont get into details, but it is discussed.
------
5) In some cultures, young women are married and begin families as soon as they start a menstrual cycle. Do you believe this is right or wrong? Why?
The cultures that this occurrs in is simply the way of life in those areas. Unfortunately most of the time this ends up being in the countries where poverty is high and survival rate of children is slim. Yet, apparently it works for those cultures. Do I think it is right...no, but it isn't my culture to believe that it is right.

------
2. Who took the photo?
The first photo was taken by a visiting aunt. The second photo was taken by my grandmother.
------
3. If you could photograph anything or anyone what/who would it be?
Im not sure, I really like taking photos. So when the mood comes over me, I take a photo.
------
4. What makes a good photo?
It depends on the person and what they are thinking about it. Its a personal feeling.
------

Either one is okay.

I am a night owl. Mornings are not my thing.
-------
4. Chocolate or vanilla?
Chocolate! YUM!

I like both and have owned both. Dogs are fun and never mind any attention at all. Where cats like to be independant and only want attention on their terms.

11:40 pm - This weeks friday five

Anywhere in Italy or Greece. They have such a history and culture.

Tough one, but I would probably want to witness a Shakespear play as it was originally put on.

4:15 am - FRIDAY FIVE AGAIN
|
1) If you were to star in a movie, who would you want to be cast as your love interest?
Hum? Honestly, I'd love if my boyfriend was my love interrest. But if I was to choose a star...I'd chose Marshall Mathers (Eminem)...now stop laughing.
----
2) What genre of movie would you most like to star in?
Horror film definately.
----
3) What song would you insist be on the soundtrack?
"Road to Nowhere" by Ozzy
----
4) What would you wear to the premiere of your movie?
Something plain and simple. I don't want to be a typical star and wear a major fashion label...after all normal people can't buy something like that so why even bother to show off something that no one without money could even afford. I want to show that I am just like everyone else and not any better just because I was in a movie and had some money.
----
5) Who would you thank in your Oscar acceptance speech?
My family and friends who supported me. The person who discovered me needs a mention. From there anyone who I felt helped me in the movie to be what needed to be done.

9:10 pm - MY RESPONSES TO THE FRIDAY FIVE COMMUNITY
|
1. If you could go back and relive one moment or day from your life, without changing anything, what would you re-experience?
---Without changing anything would be rough...because that would be the thing I'd be tempted to do. As an observer, I guess I'd go back and watch my mom's marriage to my step-father (who has since passed away). I don't remember my mom being any prettier or so in love as I did that day.
2. If you could witness a moment in history, again without changing anything, what would you want to see?
---I'd like to see Abraham Lincoln's most famous speech. Just to be see that would be amazing.
3. If you could talk to a younger version of yourself, what age would you visit and what message would you give?
---I'd maybe go back to the age of 4, before much contact with the world outside my own home. Just let her know to live life and what may be said or done over the years by others will only make her a stronger person. I'd also let her know to live life and try to be as happy as can be.
4. If you could choose one moment that would be guaranteed to happen in your future, what would it be and when would it happen?
---I'd like a very peaceful passing. Just to be able to go in my sleep without any pain. As for when, not a clue.
5. Pretend you left a time capsule for yourself 5, 10, 15, 20 or more years ago. You just opened it. What three things from your past are you now holding and what age were you when you buried them?
---Lets go with 13 years ago...I would have been in HS and I would be 15 years old. I would have put in a Nirvana Tshirt, photos (family friends animals myself) and a copy of Dirty Dancing (I loved that movie)

3:16 am - lets see...
|
Since I have been gone, I haven't mentioned how my depression, etc has been. Lets see, where to begin about it....
I havent been in therapy for a year and a half and not on meds for six to seven months now. I could use the thearpy, but I think I can deal without the meds. I just wish therapy would be easy to go around here. Back in NJ I was able to qualify for a financial help thing and the therapy was part of the hospital system. Here when I looked into it, to qualify for financial aid, you have to be on welfare and so forth. Unfortunately for me, I have the ability to work even with the depression and shit in my life.
On a scale of 1-10 how have I been lately? (1 being bad and 10 being good) I would have to put myself at a 4. I have been really depressed lately and unable to do much. Going to work and simple chores are hard for me to accomplish (esp. the chores around the apartment). I just want to sleep and avoid things. It's not health but that is what I want to do. It doesn't help that I know money wise things SUCK big time in my life, but my boyfriend is constantly bringing up how much my lack of money at the moment sucks. Yet knowing and doing something about it are two different things.
current mood:  crappy

1:39 am - *sigh*
|
I haven't really put a message of more than a sentance in here in a very long time. Not having a computer at home any longer until now had to do with that fact. Plus the getting use to being in a new area of the US was part of it.
Missouri is definately not a state I would recommend moving to willingly like I did. Maybe it is simply the area of Missouri I am in though. Branson, MO area. Tourist area. Old people tourist area mainly. And in the winter months the place becomes dead. Everything closes up and no one is around. I am really unhappy here. Hopefully moving will be an option someday soon.
On a happy note...I have a pet here now. For a full year, I had no pet which is very sad. I love animals. The ability to care for them and love them and they love you back. I grew up with relatively big dogs until I was 14 when my last dog died of cancer. She was a Doberman. From there went to owning cats. Now, I have a small doggie...a shih-tzu. He is adopted and really sweet. His last owner had no time for him and left him locked up 90% of the day. Now no more cage, just freedom and lots of attention. He is a cutie.

11:43 am - Well

I moved and am now in the state of Misery...Missouri. I am not very fond of this state...definately not New Jersey. The people are very very different!!! I dont even know how to describe them. I also live on a street with 6 churches...something is really wrong with that one. I am surprised they don't light on fire as I pass everyday.
I cant type much of an update now, but when I have my own computer in a month or so, I will...I HOPE.

I move in less then 2 days. To start my life again, at least I hope. I have never done anything like this before. Simply leave everything behind and set out to follow my own steps. I am terrified.
I realize that I am leaving some great people behind at my job. They were the closest things to friends I have had in a long while in person. The funniest part is, two of the closest people to me, are the two people I thought I would never in a million years get along with. Truth be known, I didn't cry about leaving either of those two either. I cried because of another friend I had made there. He was definately a one of a kind and unreplaceable. I was lucky to have met such a great person.
I got to do what every sales person on the planet wishes to do at some point in their sales career. The last person I had to deal with ended up to be a real bitch. So, I let them have it. I will make the story short, but they were bitching about how a sign was misleading (working in the store, I wouldn't have found it misleading, but I can see how a customer would). I talked to my supervisor and she gave the okay to give it to the customer for what the sign said, but to remove the sign. Well even with that done the customer still bitched and was saying my supervisor had an attitude problem and hinted that I did too. Then the lady says "I work in retail and I have to kiss the customers ass." At this point, I took a breath, debated wether or not to go for it and well I went for it. I looked right up at her and went "Well, I don't kiss anyones ass and I dont believe the customer is always right either. So I am grateful that this is my last day because of customers like you." She started to rant and rave about this. Wanting my name and everything else. I just said "Im not going to give you my name, you dont need it. Simply say the girl that helped you out has an attitude problem. Besides what can they do, not pay me for my fucking last day bitch." I FELT GREAT!!! No way in HELL was I going to sit and let someone insinuate that I should be kissing their ass.
Oh I forgot, the customer threw up the old "I buy thousands of dollars of things in this store, I should just return it all and not shop here." Why do they always say they buy thousands of dollars worth of things? And why do they always think that by them not shopping in the store any more really matters? I just find that funny as hell.
current mood:  amused

I can hardly believe that in one week fron tonight I will no longer be employed by JCP. From then I will only have 2 days to pack and prepare for my move to Missouri. I am scared to death!! I have not lived away from home in a long time (1997) and only then I was 4 hours away. Now, I am going 18 hours away from my home of 26 years. I will never know until I go, so his is a huge change to come for me. I hope I can deal okay.
------------
I didn't mention that 2 weeks after Amber's passing away, another cat showed up at our house. Same coloring as Amber was and female. It was exactly 2 weeks to the day and almost hour of Amber's passing that I stumbled upon this cat sitting outside on the deck where Amber would sit when I got home from work and she was still outside. This cat scared me half to death. I started to pet her and noticed ticks all over her (the poor little thing). So, I did what any animal lover would, I picked them off of her one at a time. While holding the house door open, the cat walked right inside. My family made me place her back outside that night, but I put a box and pillow out on the porch for her, where she laid that night and next day. The following night was going to be to cold so inside she came. Well, she has been inside ever since. My family still wants to get rid of her, but I want to keep her. I think she is a sign from my other cat that things are okay and to keep going on with things. (After all Amber had been a stray that simply showed up at our house one day.)
