My middle name should be Reynolds

The weather’s being a real jerk lately. This past weekend we were supposed to get TONS of snow, but instead got that annoying amount between "oh, it’s crappy to drive" and "everything is closed down so it’s kindof interesting", you know? So it was crappy to drive but everything was still open and people were still driving everywhere.

Tonight we have a winter weather advisory, and a blizzard’s predicted for tomorrow night. I swear, if I’m working at the nature reserve and it gets all "The Shining" on me, I’m going to lose it. Also if I see zombie deer roaming around the woods. And honestly, I’ll probably also freak out if I see any shadows resembling anything besides shadows of not-scary things. Sometimes my imagination is annoying.

Yesterday the woman from the Co-op called me (finally), and I started training today for my new job as a cashier. Yes, a college graduate working as a cashier. From what I hear it’s not very rare these days, and at least I’m working at a store that is actually pretty sweet. What’s also pretty sweet is the fact that a lot of dirty/hairy hippie guys (mostly my favorite kind of guy) work there and shop at the place. One of the older dude managers heard what my name was and was like, "Oh, ‘Debbie’ like Debbie Reynolds?" I didn’t act like I was too into that comment, so he just said, "What? She was HOT!". All I could think was that people probably don’t make many Debbie Reynolds references these days.

Something I’ve realized: Watching "House" right before bed is a bad idea. I’ve had a problem with this before (dreaming of scary medical situations), but I can’t stay away from it because I love that show SO MUCH. At least I didn’t use a Jeffrey Dahmer movie as a lullaby. That guy was a real asshole! I’m also convinced that Nicolas Cage is a real asshole. I hate him so much!

I think sometime soon I’m going to try to build a snow monster outside. The only thing I really need is food coloring (or something else that can color snow pretty well and pretty easily) to add the gore. I’ll try to remember to take pictures if that happens. The last time my friend and I played in the snow we ended up rolling around and trying to use the lid to a large plastic storage container as a sled. The "sled" planted itself into the ground/our legs more than slid.

Umm… I don’t think I’m very interesting right now and I don’t feel very creative. This week is going to be a long one–I’ll be working at at least one of my jobs every day until at least Sunday. I probably won’t have much free time, but I don’t really need it. Tomorrow I work 9-6 at the park and then 630ish-whenever (probably 9ish? 10ish? I don’t really ask) at the Co-op. It’ll be a long day. One of the things I do to relax/entertain myself is find new webcomics online, and one of my most favoritest webcomics in the entire universe is called Wondermark:

The second panel of the second comic always makes me LQTM (laugh quietly to myself). I want to have the opportunity at some point to say "I NEED HUGS MY HUG METER IS SO LOW". Heh. It’d be especially nice if, when I said that, someone understood the reference.

I’ve been looking at a lot of that kind of stuff lately because I’ve been kindof bummed about things going on within my family. I’ll just say, I do wonder if it’s possible to be in a happy relationship for a great length of time.

Well, I don’t have anything else to say. I guess I should try to do some interesting things tonight, because I’m kindof craving something new. Hope you all aren’t getting into too much trouble!
