Day 22: What I Like About My Job

Well, I am a pizza delivery driver, and I love driving. I love being on the road all alone. Just me and no one else, not a care in the world (except avoiding all these mean ole cops we have up here.....we have two separate cops up here, city police and campus police, but they all patrol everywhere so we have twice the amount of cops!!) I also like the tips. I get anywhere from 10-60 a night!! One night I got a $30 tip for singing Happy Birthday to some guys wife during their party, so that was awesome. I don't mind being on the make line either. I get to see all the crazy orders that come through, whether its just a massive 80 pizza order for the university or some weird unappetizing combination of toppings, its always fun....unless one of the big guys (which is like, much larger than the make line shelf) falls down, then we all just look around like GOD DAMN IT THESE PIZZAS SUCK! Minis and big guys are the DEVIL I tell you. THE DEVIL!!! Don't order them, I beg of you, don't!! They're not worth the hassle or the money......I promise.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's turkey day! Yay! Time to stuff ourselves and wear our fat pants and not be ashamed. A time to gather around the table with our crazy family and catch up. This year I wasn't able to be with my family, so I am flying solo. Plus the boyfriends in a post-session coma.......so I really don't have anywhere to go. So I'm gonna try making my own dinner. I'm making scalloped hassleback potatoes, a spinach and cottage cheese casserole, green beans and bacon, crescent rolls and Jerk Turkey. So, its going to be an interesting cooking endeavor, and I think its totally gonna be worth it. Ill let you know how it goes. :DD

Day 20: Something that means a lot to me. Day 21: A self-portrait.

Yep, I'm a day late, again. I know. But I spent all day writing essays. So I have a valid excuse. so, ill just put these two together. Mainly cause, well, I'm not doing a self portrait, cause I cant draw....at all.

So something that means a lot to me. My boyfriend. He means the world to me. I truly don't know what I would do without him. He is kind and loving and sweet, and so many other things. Hes perfection. Absolute perfection. I don't even know how to describe him, I'd be going on for hours. Hes just fantastic. And I absolutely love him so very very much.

Day 19: Myself, One Year Ago

Yeah, I know, I'm like, 45 minutes late. I was distracted by The Misfits and SpoonFlower. I plan onvmaking my own custom quilt with woodland creature silhouettes, so I'm designing the fabric myself.
So, me one year ago. A struggling sophomore in college. A total loner, living with abusive roommates, I was in a bad place. Living away from my family, my roommates who I was really good friends with, turned on me and started treating me like I was their slave (not even joking), not doing well in school, etc etc. Not a good time for me. Now, I'm kinda in a better place. I have my boyfriend, some friends, a settlement to look forward too, a new computer i plan on getting (or a ticket to Italy). I don't know. I can't say I'm better, but I cant say I'm worse. So, yeah, that's about it.

Day 18: What I Wore Today

I wore a dress that I made over the summer, its a cute tan linen with brown and blue flower clusters and a zipper up the front, a denim jacket, navy nights, and tan knee high riding boots. I felt quite cute today. I have this new obsession with tights. I have red, navy, green, raspberry, black, brown, tan, grey fishnet, lace, mustard, maybe a few more that i just cant remember right now. But I need more, so I'm going to forever 21 this week and buying pink, and mint, and so many more. I'm planning on spending like $30 on tights. :) I. Love. Tights.
