What the hell, dude? I just got done watching Rollergirls and it was a good episode, as usual, despite the fact that the Rhinestone Cowgirls beat the Holy Rollers but uhm... that episode? The one I just saw? Undefeated? It's episode eleven of the series and the episode last week? Searching For Ann Calvello? It's episode nine. Yeah... so in the world of A&E it goes one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, eleven. That's spiffy.

I wanted to see episode ten too! It's called Big Time and is an interleague bout with the TXRD vs. some Roller Derby league from Arizona who have no rules in terms of fighting on the rink. Suck ass. I guess maybe we'll see it next week? I dunno what's the deal. Annoying though.

In other news, I worked my first shift at Things Remembered today and man... they're paying me a lot to do very little. lol. I mean, seriously. There's a lot of tiny intricate things and their training is fucking extensive. It has levels. Seriously. lol. They test you and right now I'm at level two because of all the retail experience I have but it goes up to level five. The ASM I'm replacing? She just took her level five test last week. Seems odd she's going down to part time after that but all it means is she's been authorized to do more complicated engravings and other stuff.

Okay, so it's a lie. I'm not doing very little. I think what I mean is when it comes to selling the product I found it so fucking easy because it's just talking and listening to people. The company requires you to do a certain introduction that you have to follow. Like you must start by saying, "Welcome to Things Remembered." Then they want you to ask who they're shopping for and what's the special occasion. After you rattle off those three required things it's just fucking listening and talking to the customer and figuring out something that would fit what they've got in mind. I dunno. My manager was super pleased with my performance so that's good.

Ever since I was little I've had heart problems, you know? I've been on drugs constantly and I keep getting them switched up because my doctor is all with latest and greatest new meds and I totally trust him. But I'm on these new meds and I feel all buzzy and giddy from them. lol. It's fucking trippy. I feel like Lisa Simpson in that episode where they go to Duff Gardens with Selma and she drinks the beer water in the parody Small World ride. She waves her hand in front of her face and it looks like ten hands as she marvels, "I can see the music." Then after getting off the ride she ends up half naked in a fountain and crying out all ecstatic, "I am the Lizard Queen!"

That's what I feel like right now if that makes any sense. But I'm not half naked. Or in a fountain. And I'm unfortunately not at Duff Gardens because it doesn't exist. Sucketh.
