Bad Idea Leads to Great Finds

So, as previously noted in this bloggy blog, half my hurr is purple.
That being said, I think the bubblegum sented hair dye as seeped its way into my brain. My proof is that I decided to go jogging today. Yes, jogging. It's been 4 years, at least, since I've done any sort of work out.
I was pretty pathectic, not going to lie. Could hardly make it a minute of straigth jogging. But I forced myself at the end to run for at least 3 minutes with out break. I walked for most of the time, but I still think I almost broke a lung.
This is hard to believe, but I swear it happened! Here is a picture to prove it. See these beautiful hills? I thought, "I should take a picture as proof for my blog."
When in reality, I was making excuses to myself to take a break.

Look how beautiful the outside world looks.

I was so tired when I got back, I passed out in the bed of my truck staring at the leaves while I felt my whole body move with the fast beating of my heart.



There was minimal oxygen in my brain to say the least. 



I would have pushed myself harder but am going on a 2-4 mile hike tomorrow morning with my mom. I'm actually really excited for it, but know that I will be quite tired.
I told Jake about it and he said: "Amanda, you're not going to make it."
I chuckled, us both knowing that he wouldn't last, either.

So this is my 'reward' from the Godly creatures that live in space/the sky for working out today:

I go to get my special spinich speghattie noodles that my mom got me ages ago to make for dinner. I have asked Jake a million times if he wanted me to make him dinner (leaving out the spinich part) and he said no thanks. Well, if that boy would have said yes at least once, I would have found my MIA pay checks wayy sooner! I WAS SO EXCITED! I have been missing both of them for sooo long! And one expires in a couple days so I need to deposit it ASAP. But that's about 900+ bucks there. B-]
That means I can buy myself a dress for Fanime. >:DDD
Saving it for moving out? Yes, well I will have some left over for sure to do that.
But I was so excited to find those. Jake of course had a face and told me, "Amanda, you really need to take better care of important things like that."
I know I was stupid and forgetfull, but I can predict the future (no one believes me ;]) and knew I would find them again.
So after shoving those in my purse and sending Jake home, I made a delicious dinner for myself. The speghettie is fantastic! And my dad made (safeway select) pork buns so I treated myself to carbs even though I said I wouldn't. I don't get pork buns much. :)



That is all for today.
Wish me luck on the hike tomorrow. :) It's a Sierra's Single's hike, but I'm going on it for my mom and most of the people are her age anyway. She wanted to go on the Gay/Lesbian hikes because they get the best areas, but Mel said no thanks. I told my mom I would go with her and she could say: "Oh, I'm not gay, but my daughter is and I'm here to support her!" My mom gave me a funny look, but I think it's a good idea. >:D

So What's New?

My soulmate said I needed to blog.
And it's true. I knew that I was being lazy but just ignored my 'responsibility' to blog.
Meh.
But kinda a big thing happened. Well, a big thing for sure.
I finally quite my job at Target. Fucking hatted it there. I'm sad to go because I'm going to miss (most) of my coworkers, but, like I told my "boss," I don't want to work in an environment that makes me unhappy. And everyday I think "What will go wrong today?"
She just looked at me like "OH. Well, I didn't expect this." She tried to make excuses but I shot her down, telling her that the problem was with the upper management, and not you 'little world' as she put it.
Now I know why they never cared, they saw us in our own 'little world' in our Starbucks kiosk.
But whatever. I'm happy to leave overall. I don't have a job set up now, but a couple options are presented. For now, I just want to go to FanimeCon and be happy for awhile. I'm so stressed with so much in my life, I need time to just step back and figure it all out. Going from not having a real job to full time work really did me in.

Fanime is the best thing that happens for all of us. It makes us all feel like we really are 15 again, but with no parents. We get to 'run around' unattended, following our own rules for 3 1/2 days. It's magical. I feel like me again. Stupidly, none of us have booked a hotel room, but I think we will manage. My magical future predicting skills say so. I already bought my ticket, which means that I'll probably have to stand in a long ass annoying line, but have a permanent badge and not just a paper one.
I think I will wear only lolita to Fanime. Last year I was too much of a girl and brought too much to wear, but this year I think I'll bring my dresses and then maybe one change of clothes because I don't want to get too hot.
And I found my camera charger (more like whomever 'borrowed' it returned it. It was just sitting on my desk the other day. Came from NOWHERE.).

Forever 21 might be hiring at the end of May so when I get back from Fanime, I'm going to turn in an application. But by then I will have purple in my hair so I'm going to have to buy a wig...I think I'll just keep it a secret because I really don't like that I can't have colors in my hair. It's important to me to express myself. Having wild hair, piercings and hopefully my wing tattoos all help me paint my canvas. I think I'll try seeing if Hot Topic is hiring, even though I haven't shopped there since I was 16. But I still love lots of their accessories.

But yeah, I bought purple dye today. Not my normal brand because the website is STILL OUT OF IT. It's been at least a month. I'm really pissed. But this other brand I've used before and it didn't seem bad so I'm giving it a shot. It's cheater and I got it at Sally's instead of ordering online. Tomorrow, I'm going to finally do my roots and then add the purple for the last day of work. I'm being rebelious because they started to get cranky about my blondish/black hair. Our "boss" was asking Shanter (she left too! I miss her already. :c I was looking through old pictures and saw the pumpkin carving ones. But that's when Stella almost...) if my hair was acceptable.
Shanta (being a *bux employee for 4 years total): "Well, all I know is that it has to be natural colors to someone."
'Boss': "Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh. But it's two different colors!"

Fuck you. You're a stupid bitch. I'm a TARGET EMPLOYEE. So therefor, the I can do WHAT I WANT. I was told so when I was hired. And I don't care if I'm in the *bux kiosk being told to look 'Starbucks Brand.' If you want us to follow *bux rules, then make us *bux employees. Bitch. So my purple hair on my last day is me saying "GO FUCK YOURSELF."
And I've been wearing just a hairnet like a lunch lady lately because it was so freakin' hot during frappy crappy hour, and the hat kept falling in my eyes. Two leaders that KNOW NOTHING ABOUT OUR KIOSK came over and asked "Shouldn't you be wearing a hat?!"
"No. It's a hat or hairnet."
"Well, I think it's suppose to be both."
"No, we were told either or."
"Well, let me go check with Waldo."
I just gave a puzzled expression. WALDO? He doesn't know anything about our department! All he does is sign the cleaning log every night! SHUT UP AND GO DEAL WITH YOUR DEPARTMENT. FUCKERS.

On a happier note, I started reading The Hunger Games and fell in love. I hate that there is so much hype about it, and I haven't seem the movie yet but don't really like who they picked for Katniss yet. And I think Katniss is being annoying about Peeta. I think she loves him, but is just being a stupid girl.
I broke my record and read the book in 2-3 days. Jake gave me his old, crappy eReader but I'm happy with it. I'm now on the second book.

Ok, I think that's everything 'important.'
