You're perfect, yes it's true. But without me, you're only you.

It's really funny how people always think I'm so stressed out about everything. I'll admit, I get anxious sometimes. Everyone does. But...I'm not ALWAYS stressed. Everyone at work is so cautious about telling me things because they think I'm gonna freak the hell out and go commit suicide or something. Haha...well maybe not, but sometimes it seems like that. I mean, the other day I was putting pages in sheet protectors and I was doing it fast so I could get other things done. One of my co-workers who was just standing around was like "OMG! CALM DOWN!" Um...I am calm. I'm just moving fast? Everyone works differently. I tend to slack off a little bit, and then suddenly decide to get a bunch of stuff done quickly. That's just what I do. So...for fuck's sake, STFU and let me do stuff the way I want to. If anything, I'm gonna freak the hell out eventually because everyone is telling me to calm down when I don't even need to calm down in the first place haha.
Here's another thing that really irritates me. People who talk to you ONLY when they have something to talk about. I'm not even going to rant about it, because I'm too tired right now...but it's really frustrating.

So...as I was driving home from work tonight...I was listening to Ashley Tisdale. Or, as I like to call her...'Shley Tizzy. Don't make fun of me for listening to her...she has some good songs! WHAT?! SHE DOES! *looks guilty*
So, anywhore...that song "It's Alright, It's OK" came on. I don't even like that song...not one of the good ones on the CD. But...I started singing to it anyway. The first lyrics are: "You told me...there's no need."
Well, I was so focused on driving that I was only half listening...and sang, "You told me...there's no weed." I laughed at my stupidity...but then I continued with my new rendition.
You told me...there's no weed
So I just sat and stared at you
And then I, twitched my eye
And asked "...the hell do you mean foo?"
No looking back, I needed a snack, oh
Some tasty brownie treats
I'm broken, but still I have to say
It's alright, it's ok
I have some stored in my freezer!
And then I realized I'm a fool and sheepishly changed the song. How I remember all the words I sang...I have no idea.
I don't even smoke! Haha. Although it would appear that I do...lol. Does anyone else do this?

At work today (or yesterday, technically.)
So in strolls this girl with her friend bright and early this morning. She immediately starts looking at a hat in the cold weather section. I watch her look at the tag, and say “Oh my god! Why is this $14?!”
Usually the customers who get annoyed with prices either put the item back (99% chance that it’s in the wrong place of course), or just leave the store altogether. However, this girl decides she needs to make whatever point she’s trying to make.
About a minute later, she walks over to where I am, holds up the hat, and says to me “Why is this hat $14?” All the while, glaring at me.
I had to practically bite my tongue from spewing off some sort of sarcastic response. Because I’M going to have the answer right?
“You know…I have NO idea why they would make it $14. Let me call Mr. Icing now for you and inquire the reason as to why they decided to make this specific hat $14.”
That was one option. Or:
“I am so sorry. Let me change that price for you right away. How much did you want it to be?”
I mean, what was she expecting me to say? Maybe she just wanted the confrontation. Because as stupid as the question was, I don’t honestly think she was stupid enough to believe that I personally decided how much the hat would sell for.
Instead I just responded “I’m not sure.”

Random rant

music: Wax On Wax Off; Kovas
Okay, so I'm going to rant about something I was thinking about today.
I used to listen to Good Charlotte all the time in high school. One of their songs called "Hold On" is about suicide. Part of the lyrics really annoy me...I'll explain why in a second.
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
So...having been through crap, (I'm not gonna go there right now), I really find it irritating that they used those lyrics. The LAST thing that a person dealing with suicidal thoughts/attempts/whatever wants to hear is how "Oh, everyone goes through what you're going through." Because this is what I would get from that, "Oh, your problems are insignificant, and everyone goes through that. Get over it."
Maybe that doesn't make sense to a lot of people, but I always HATED when my anyone would say "Everyone goes through that. I've been there before. Blah blah blah."
Yes, I understand I could have it a lot worse...and there ARE people going through similar things. But having people tell you that just kind of backfires.
The general message of the song is good, but that just irritates me.
