You know what I've recently developed an obsession for? Watching old episodes of 'Are You Afraid of the Dark?' online. I miss that show so much; Snick was awesome! I miss my All That with Lori Beth, Kenan, Josh, Kourtney, Alicia, Kel, etc. I miss Kenan & Kel, it was so much funnier than Drake & Josh. Salute Your Shorts, Pete & Pete, Clarissa Explains It All, etc. Man, TV has gones downhill. Woah---wait. Do these kinds of feelings mean I'm getting old?!? .

So anyways...I have seen quite a few of them by now. Or, rather, re-watched a bunch of old episodes, like 'The Tale of the Doll Maker'. (That's the one I'm watching now, actually.) Some of the ones that scared me as a 7-Yr. Old child I'm finding are rather mediocare in the scare aspect. To a 7-Yr. Old child, it's spooky as hell, but to a 20-Yr. old, they're not so scary. A few I still refuse to watch though; the vampire episodes come to mind. Some of the episodes though are still able to give me nightmares after all these years. Not many, but they're spooky enough. I can't believe they actually aired some of these episodes..Anyone else miss the old Nickelodean shows I mentioned earlier? Snick was way better than Nick's Teen Nick they've got now, too. Ah, memory lane...

Went over to Emily's yesterday. That was fun; we went up to Kohl's so that Emily could return/exchange a few dresses for Elisa. We also both applied for jobs up there since they're hiring right now. After Kohl's, we went to Wal-Mart so she could get a few items, though she ended up with a cart full of stuff. When she found her card wasn't in her purse, we had to go back and get it from the house. We picked up Elisa while we were doing that; luckily Wal-Mart didn't put the items all back. Elisa wasn't feeling too good, poor thing. . After Wal-Mart, we picked up Elexis and her friend Sasha as they were walking home from school. Apparently there was a drug bust at Discovery when two girls passed out from getting stoned. 11,12,13 Yr Olds getting stoned? . What is the world coming to? That's an interesting piece of gossip Elexis and Sasha shared in the car trip home.

Once home, or at their house, we put away the groceries, and made some sandwiches for dinner. Well, it was my dinner anyway, I didn't anything else after that sandwich. I watched an episode of Reba and then Elexis turned on Legally Blonde with Reese Witherspoon which I hadn't seen in forever. I never realized it before, but there are a lot of inappropriate scenes in that movie that I felt were unnecessary. Mostly the language used in certain scenes, and a 6-Yr. Old doesn't need to know what they mean. After Legally Blonde, Elexis kept flipping through different movies and shows they had recorded before she finally turned it off so Erica could work on her essay for World History.

Emily also gave me some pictures that we had taken back in January while Ed was here on R&R. They came out really nice; I put a few in my wallet and the others I'm going to get framed and put in my room. She also gave me a map of the Lynx Bus System that Eddie got for me. (Thank You! .)

I got home around 8:30, and watched some Friends on DVD before going to bed. I got up around 1:30 to get online and maybe talk to Ed, but apparently he'd already gotten on and off the computer by the time I got online. I keep missing him lately... I'm hoping to get to the bank today and deposit my tax refund that I got yesterday, and maybe buy myself a new jacket since the one I have no doesn't keep me warm when I'm cold.

Oh, and I found out something I find a little funny. My brother broke his foot! Nobody really knows how though; his foot has been bothering him for about a week now and they finally got it x-rayed at the doctors yesterday. It's broken; that's why it's bothering him! Now he's got to wear this gray boot-like cast thingy mahjig that he hates. What do I find so funny about it? Well, I've gone 20 years without breaking a single bone! And my little brother didn't! So, it's a little mean, but I can't really help it. I feel for him though, I hope it gets better real soon. It's still funny though. The closest I've come to breaking anything is a sprain. Did that falling down the stairs up in the Smokies. Man, I miss the mountains now too..I miss a lot of things right now..

Back to watching more episode of AYAOTD?!! .

So last nights interview could have gone better than it did. It was a group interview, and I am terrible at group interviews. Mostly because I've never really had group interviews before. Express was only the second. (When I applied Kohl's almost a year ago, we had a group interview then too.) It was also a two-part interview. We had the group interview in the back room, where it was the general question and answer, and then we had to actually go out on the floor and sell the products. I felt so much more at ease when I was out on the floor. Saleem, the hiring manager, said the whole interviewing and hiring is about a two week process, depending on how quickly they can get in touch with references, but that everyone did very well on the floor dealing with the customers. Man, I really want this job. It's so easy and I feel so perfect for this position even though I have no previous retail experience. (It's a Sales Associate Position). I really wish the question and answer session would've gone better though. The whole thing took close to two hours last night; longest interview I've ever gone on. I was able to call and talk to Esther afterwards though, and talking to her always makes me feel better. (I know some people who could learn to follow her example..but I won't name names.) I wish she wasn't leaving for Costa Rica tomorrow, but not because I don't want her to go on her missions trip, and experience new things. I feel like I'm going to need someone to talk to in the next few days, and no ones going to be there. At least not for another ten days or so. (The length of Esther's trip.)
I can't wait for this whole thing to be done and over with. Anyway, I'm done blogging for the day; writing and blogging for two and half hours is kind of exhausting. I'm off to surf the net and try to enjoy my time home alone today. (And no, this particular blog entry did not take two and a half hours to write; it took about thirty minutes, if anyone was curious.)

So the interview isn't until 6 PM, yet I'm already started to worry about the what-if's and thinking of everything that could go wrong..I can't wait to get this interview over with!! I really need and want this job, I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't get it, but I will be really upset. Why didn't I call Esther for comfort last night??

Almost a month later, and Express Fashions calls to schedule an interview. Eileen, the woman who called to schedule, said I didn't sound real excited to get the interview but I'm very excited. She called at 9:00 at night though--I'm getting ready for bed at 9! I know it's early for some people, but I also get up early, so I'm pretty pooped by 9. I was all settled and comfortable in bed watching 13 Going on 30 when she called. So, maybe I didn't sound as excited as I really was. But it's only because I was tired and half asleep. Anywho, the interview is tomorrow and 6 PM. Pray that it goes well! (My boyfriend has already expressed confidence in my ability to get the job so if I don't get it now I'm going to be twice as bummed. But I think I'm going to get it.)

So job hunting today went ok. Not the best, but none of the hiring managers were there. I'm starting to think they're never there on Saturdays. That kinda holds me back right now since my sister keeps tagging along to go shopping. I'm not there to shop, I'm there to get a job!!! Ugh. The assistant manager from Charlotte Russe seemed to like me though, so that one may work out. I'm supposed to hear from them by Thursday at the latest. Charlotte Russe would be cool, it's one of my favorite stores there in the FL Mall. I have no idea what's going to happen with the other stores, they all took my application and placed it in a pile with a bunch of other applications; not really what I was expecting but what can I do about it?

I got to talk to Ed last night!! That made me really happy. He reenlisted, but it only adds on an extra two days to his term. I'm not quite sure how that works out, but he also said he got school option so he can go to school next January. Awesome! Wonder what he's going to major in or study? Ed also got a promotion; really proud of him for that. I wish October would get here sooner, I want a hug from Ed!! I miss him so much lately, and time seems to move so slowly; it's still February for crying out loud!! I can't wait until summer starts, there'll be plenty of activities at church to get involved in to keep me busy for sure.

Oh, and my cold is gone. Yay! No more illness for me!

So tomorrow I'm going to job-hunting. I bought a nice outfit last week; I'm gonna wear it tomorrow when I go to the mall in search of a job. I hope I'm not sick again, like I am today, and that I get to talk to Ed cause I miss him and haven't had the chance in awhile. I've also decided that I don't really want to go to SuperWow this year; I'd rather go on the Missions Trip. I don't know where they're going this year or anything, but I plan on finding out. I know Pastor Karl is going to be doing a service on Missions in a few weeks; he actually wanted Esther to come and speak about that but she's going to be, ironically, on a missions trip in Costa Rica that week. Maybe he'll mention where Cornerstone is going for missions this summer? I know they went to Ecuador last summer; don't know if they're going they're again or not. If I don't do the missions, I'm gonna (maybe) apply for the summer internship at Cornerstone.

Eh. I want to breathe!!! I hate having colds/flus. They suck!! I'm gonna go take a nap in a little bit; maybe that will help some. The meds seem to be ineffective and these tissue are starting to hurt my nose. What happened to the ones with lotion?? Those are nice...
