Last night on Shark Week, they mentioned the Megladon. That was a prehistoric shark, currently extinct (so they say, but how would they know if it lived waaaaaaaaaayyyy down below???? Hmmm?!). It was up to 30 feet long and had massive teeth. They showed the tooth next to the typical gray white tooth and hoooooooolllly shit. It was like standing a yorkie next to a rott. One tooth found was 7 inches long. 7 INCHES!!!!!!!!! So crazy. I remembered that when I was younger, I read a book called "Meg" that was about the Megladon. It was fiction, along the lines of Jaws, but I think the shark was 60 feet in the book. I could be way off about that, though. I should read it again, it was good.

I left work early today. Well, sort of. I was there from 7:30-11:30 and when you're working on your day off, what would you call that? Ah well. I'm currently eating my left over Italian Cazone Sub from Hungry Howie's, and drinking a pepsi. Sugar + red meat = not good. Both of those make psoriasis itch like a bitch, I think the same may be true for mosquito bites, because out of no where, one of the bites on my heel started itching like a biotch. Oh well. I've CERTAINLY dealt with worse. And it's so yummy :) THERE'S A PARTY IN MY TUMMY!!!!!!!! Aaaaahahahahaha.

Yesterday's word of the day was a massive one. Sesquipedalian. Why in the world do you need such a long word to say "long word". YES that word means "long word". In it's adjective form, it means "characterized by the use of long words" or "long and ponderous, having many syllables". Youuuuu little flirt.

In about half an hour I'm leaving to see Mamma Mia! Weeeee! Hopefully today I can get my bangs cut, maybe stop by Michaels, maybe do a little job hunting, ya dig?

IT, is sooooooooooooooo frakkin' LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I came in here fully intent on writing an actually entry. But ughhh it's so fucking hot. Like, sweat down my back and in-between the boobage hot. And of course, the laptop is getting warm, so that's not helping things much. So therefore I won't be talking or typing about all the things I had wanted to, because if I'm in here any longer I think I might hurl due to the heat.

I will say though, that I'm reading Stephen King's "It" and holy SHIT that book is 1078 pages long!!!!! WTF!! I had better read a lot because if I take too long I'll get bored. Not cuz of the story, but because if I take too long reading something I get tired of it and want to be done. Mehhhhhh.

Also. Doctor Horrible, oooommmggggg. Joss is a fucking genius, I love him, I neeeeeeeeeeeed to work with that guy, how do I do it?!??! I would sing the musicals praises right now but it's way too hot so now I must go. Bah.

Gahhhhh!!! I don't know why, but I'm in such a fit of rage today. Last night I was cranky and now I'm downright... well, infected with rage. Like in "28 Days Later". Did anyone see any crazy monkeys around here?!

I'm really hoping that it's a sign that my period is about to come back. I do NOT want to get those hormonal tests, because that means more doctor visits and doctor bills on no insurance. Bah. Fuck that.

Today at work was Just Reduced day. Every Monday we have to scan aaaaaallllll the merchandise on the floor to see if the price went down. For each piece, it goes down a month. But for some reason every FUCKING tag from July 9th WOULD NOT FUCKING SCAN!!! I was getting so mad. I very nearly threw the stupid snic on the ground and was gonna pretend it was an accident. Everytime you CAN'T scan the shit, you have to manually put in the division number, the model number, and the four-digit number that distinguishes tags from each other. OMG I was so pissed. I remember thinking about how some people can see auras, and if anyone walked in the same room as me, they'd probably go running for cover. Yeah. I was THAT pissed.

I still am, but at least now I'm not at a boring as fuck job where the time is dragging on and on and on and fucking on.... Here at least I can have my music, my movies, my books, my Internet. All that stuff is gooooooood. Oooo I could even take a nap! Mmmm...nap.

This is my third day reading Twilight, and it feels weird because the last few books I read I finished in 2 days, or 3. If I don't finish it tonight I'll get super-impatient and want to hurry through it. Maybe I'll read some and then get reeeeeally tired and then fall asleep and stuff....idk lol.

But gahhhh I don't know about this. Vampire love stories can never end well lol. Unless the vampire becomes human, but...I only liked that the one time in Angel. It made me cry :( Maybe in LJ Smith's books the vampire-human thing worked out...I can't remember though it's been YEEEEEEEEEAAAARRRRRSSS since I read those. And OMG I saw "The Vampire Diaries" at B&N and omg omg. IT HAD A NEW COVER!!!!!

Okay you're probably thinking I'm a spaz, but I thought all of LJ Smith's books were going out of print, and now..... there's A NEW COVER!!! I like it better lol.... but how sensible is it to re-buy the thing just cuz it's prettier?? Probably not very, but I so would...

Ahhhh I just got an email from my aunt. Here, you can read it :)

Hi Jackie,
The keychain you sent Ann (she received it today) is wonderful. I would like to hire you for a project. I need about 67 placemats with a family tree on it and fall colored leaves. It's for our Thanksgiving table at (hopefully) the Marriott in Livonia on Nov. 27th. I would like the placemats laminated. Is this something you would be interested in doing? I think I would, also, like a keychain for everyone but need to think that through a little more.
LAP

I'm gonna be hired again! Woot! At this rate I'm gonna have material for a whole new portfolio before I even get the first one printed!!

This news has made me happier. I'm gonna go before that changes, cuz I can still feel the fire inside....

So has anyone else noticed that the less and less time you spend learning, obviously the less you know, but the more you forget?

I used to be so good with grammar, and better at art recognition and stuff. Not anymore! Today on Jeopardy they showed a painting that I KNOW I've studied and asked a question about it and I couldn't for the life of me remember the answer. Of course no one on the show got it right either, but still.

I LIKE knowing stuff. I like to be educated, I like learning, and if the subject is right, I even like studying!

So you can imagine my horror when I constantly screw up their/there/they're and know/no/now and so on. Granted it's mostly typing errors and that's pretty easy to do. But it bothers me.

So today I bought this book called "The Intellectual Devotion". On the cover it says "Revive Your Mind, Complete Your Education, and Roam Confidently with the Cultured Class". Everyday you read something about a certain subject. On Mondays you learn about History, Tuesdays it's Literature, Wednesday it's Visual Arts, Thursday it's Science, Friday it's Music, on Saturday you read about Philosophy, and on Sunday, appropriately enough, Religion.

I'm excited for this, except for the fact that I don't learn by reading, I learn by doing. I considered maybe writing a blurb about what I read each day, maybe even something narrative, but idk... maybe I'll just read. My other issue is that I'm currently reading "I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You". I started yesterday and I'm already half-way through, which shows you it's an easy read and one that I find hard to put down. Also, it's hard for me to juggle multiple projects.

Oh listen to me making all of these excuses....I should just do it, right? Read an effing page a day, and write a lil somethin-somethin' about it, eh? I should. I will. And today is Monday which means I have to start today or wait a week. I really don't think I have the patience to wait a week lol.

So the question remains.... do I read "I'd Tell You" first, or the Devotional? I think I'll call it the ID from now on :D

Hehe.... well what to do what to do.....

Man, am I ever addicted to Word Twist on facebook! It's sooo much fun. I'm currently tied with another friend for 127 points. I'm determined to beat that, buuuut it's not as easy as it would seem.

So I gave Scott's sister, Emma, a graduation card, and his family gave one to me. I miss them so much. I wish someone would give him a lobotomy so that he would become the perfect guy and then I could go back with him lol. I know it's bad wanting to date a guy for his family, buuuut... they're so great. Ooo maybe we don't know this but he has a twin brother.... a GOOD twin, and they were separated at birth! Guh... one can dream, no? Anywho, in Emma's thank you card she mentioned that maybe I'll design a book cover for her one day...which would rock. She wants to write a book, and maybe edit them too? I can't remember if that's what she said, but either way, that's the field she wants to go into. On that note, miss Candy, if you get to choose who designs your covers, give me a call :D

I really need to get this portfolio done to prove my damn therapist wrong. By the time I go back I want to be able to say not only is it done and printed, but it's submitted to publishing houses in Michigan and Texas. My friends are so great, they made me feel a lot better about the situation, and reading Molly and Emma's messages made me happy as well. All of it gives me hope that I can, in fact, be normal. And not just normal, be totally awesome. I want to be awesome!! And I want to know it, but not be a bitch about it.

I also want to write more. I have an idea for a book but it'd be horror/suspense and I dunno if I'm any good at that. I suppose I can try though, and Laura would totally be able to help me out. And Katherine. They loooooooove the scary movies so it'd be a good choice (and yes Candypants, you would get to read as well...obviously :)

I just wish I could get the strength, courage, and determination to do it. But I really don't think that will happen until I'm out of this house.

Ugh. I'm just a mess of complicated.

LAME. LAME. LAMEY LAME LAME LAME LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME FUCK.

( If you ever plan on reading the  )


Why do people DO this? Killing off Jonathan Kent, and now *bleepity bleep*?! You are all STUPID. Stupid stupid stupid. I may never watch Smallville again and I may never finish this stupid ass sorry fucking excuse for a book.

But I probably will, because it will bug me if I don't. UGH.

Screw David. Hate him :P

I learned about this book from: Seeing it at Target
This book was purchased at: Target :)
This book is: Funny and addictive, and something you can totally relate to if you're a girl who's had her heartbroken, dated a loser, and is/was afraid of the single life.
Other books by this author: n/a
I would recommend this book: Pretty much to any girl, for sure.
Favorite characters: Actually, Needy Girl and Sensible Girl.. ahahaha.
Least favorite Characters: Loser and Loserette :)
When and Where the story takes place: On Rachel's blog, but it's also interlaced with actual goings on.

Main characters: Rachel aka "BreakupBabe"
What I liked best: I really liked reading her blogs and comments. It's just like real life, when you see that there are 5 comments, you're like "Yesssss!" but if there's none, you're sad, haha. It's also pretty sweet that they link you to her ACTUAL blog of the same name.
What I liked least: I would have liked more closure in the end, but the ending was pretty hopeful and promising, so that's good.

Overall Rating: Great book for anyone with a brokenheart, or who has suffered one recently. People I think should read it: Hailey, Laura, Kristen, Jamie, Candy :)
