Rantings Of A Cornflake Girl...

Ticketmaster is evil, evil, evil! I really think they are part of the Axis of Evil! Currently, I've missed out on tickets for U2 & NIN, which is so freaking annoying to me. Both shows that I feel are not to be misssed & really want to see. Also the presale password crap is really getting to me too.

Everyone will make fun of me but I so don't care... I love, love, love Oasis & want to see them live. Tickets for the Woodlands show are availabe to those with the presale password, which I don't have. Currently, tickemaster is the bain of my existence...

I want a week off for spring break too! One of the things that I miss most about being a college student is all the time off. The work thing kinda sucks & grad school looks better & better all the time. However, even if I did go to grad school I wouldn't be able to quit by day job. Right now, I will be like 40something before my undergrad loans will be paid off so I don't want anymore of those. Every month when I have to pay citibank my student loan I sit & think about whether or not I feel like I need to pay it.

It's not that I'm cheap, I just sometimes can't justify paying for something that I did so long ago. Another thing is my car payment that gets me sometimes. Such as, anytime I've had to have work done on my car, I want to call VW & tell them I'm not paying my payment this month or I'm deducting whatever I paid from the total amount due. I've never done that but I really want to at times. :-)

Haven't really posted much as life has been kinda surreal for the past month. Not exactly sure why but it just seems like I've been watching things happen & not actually making them happen. Kinda apathetic, which isn't me so I feel like I'm getting back to normal or at least on the way. Not really sure what normal is for anyone but me.

Work has been the main cause of my stress & why I have been a freak or at least that's my story & I'm sticking to it. :-) One day to the next has been crazy. One day, we're opening a Dallas office, closing another office & then it was like, I don't know if we're going to stay open another week. Currently, we're having one our best months ever but that hasn't stopped me from sending out resumes. The thing that is going to suck is that where I currently work, I make what I would make if I were working in Dallas but I live in Tulsa so that's great. Not so sure if I can carry that over but that's what I'm hoping for.

Wish me luck & send all kinds of good karma & happy thoughts my way as I begin to look for a new job. For now, it's the weekend & I'm going to play...

Happy St. Paddy's Day! This is the day that we are all a little Irish or a little wanna be Irish anyway. My family's ancestoral history is like almost everyone else I know, Irish & Scottish which means it's impossible for me to tan.

Anyway, I so don't want to be at work today because I'm so not feeling the motivation to do anything today, except watch the clock & surf the web. As I'm in Tulsa, we'll most likley stop by Kilkenny's or Irish Disney Land, as the guys who own Arnies refer to it, Empire & Arnies or course. You can't be in Tulsa on St. Paddy's day & not go to Arnies.

My most fave St. Paddy's day ever was spent with the Ex-Cornflake Boy, in New Orleans. We were so broke but had a great time just hanging out, having a few drinks & watching all the crazy people & parades in the Quarter. I love, love, love going to New Orleans to just hang out & relax. It's so much fun more me.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day & a great evening. Guys, don't use the horrid line that goes something like this, "Do you have a little Irish in you? Do you want a little Irish in you?" That's sooooo lame & I heard some guy use it a few days ago! Come up with something way more creative & ladies, if anyone says this, walk away!

Happy Day!

Ok, beginning to think that my entire familia is just insane! Last night, I'm hanging with the b-friends family, watching, Man on Fire, which seemed really slow at first but after an hour of viewing, I had to finish watching. Suddenly, the phone rang & it was one of my aunts tracking me down. I swear, some of my relatives could work for the FBI or CIA, 'cause they can find your ass anywhere.

My aunt M. proceeds to ask me to go pick up one of my older sisters' & her kidlets, as they are doing laundry at a place in the freaking hood at 10:30 on a school night. I ask what's up since Lorla, as I call her is staying with my uncle & he's helping her take care of her kids. Aunt him, who happens to be crazy uncles sis tells me that he's dealing with the police as his neighbor, across the street tried kill him. Kill him really means he tried to back his car over him & ended up damaging the uncle's car. This is craziness but this is what happens with certain members of my family that I don't hang out with. You'll understand why...

My uncle lives across the street from a man that he's known his entire life. They both took care of their aging mothers & ended up with their homes after they passed away. However, they now feel the need to stand in the middle of their prospective yard & yell crazy shit to each other. Last night the crazy neighbor took the uncs keys from him when he was leaving to go pick up the sister. My uncle has a washer & a dryer at his home but refuses to use it. Why? I do not know... After crazy guys takes keys, he then promptly returns to his car & attempts to back over my uncle as he was yelling various obscenities at crazy guy & anyone else who happened to be outside watching. The crazy neighbor backs into the driveway & crashes into my crazy uncle's car. Luckily, someone called the police. Crazy... These people are like 65 years old & just insane!!!


After picking up the sister, we take a scenic drive though the hood to the uncles house. Have I mentioned this is in the hood?!? When we arrive, he happens to be screaming at the police to arrest his neighbor for attempted murder along with a myriad of other charges. There were 6 police cars there when I arrived & I think most of them showed up to view the freak show. After I found out the uncle was indeed going to be fine, just giving the cops a great story to tell I went home & went to bed.

My question is this... Does everyone have crazy freaking family members or is it just me?!?

Currently at work & wasting time online as today could possibly be the last day that we are open for buss. A week ago, we were in the process of opening a Dallas office & now we may be closing the doors. Not really sure exactly why & most likely never will if that happens... If it does, I will most likely be leaving Tulsa & going back to Dallas, as it would be sooooo much easier to find a job in my field there.

Would love to have a job with a company that was somewhat stable.

Would love to actually see my boyfriend other than when he's walking in the door from work & I'm going to bed, so I have time just to say goodnight. That sucks... I hate his job & his hours. I never see him & it's getting really freaking old.

Would love to feel better than I have the last few weeks so I actually feel like doing something with my friends when I'm off work. Scotti, I love you to death & really do miss hanging out with you!

Would love not to be so demanding but that's me & it's who I am.

Gorgeous spring days with perfect weather that last all year long.

To be more motivated.

Music that I love, love, love playing all the time.

To spend more time with family & friends...

If I hear that freaking, "Live Like You Were Dying", song again, I'm going to go postal. I'm just sooooo sick of it. I haven't even spent all that much time in my office today & I've heard it like 3 times. Come on now... There's so much music out there I'm so sick of radio stations because all they do is play the crap & commericials. I was strictly doing the cd thing until I was gently reminded that I work in an office & it needs to be friendly for people from all walks of life. I hate this & so need to get a new job! I know... I say that all the time!

I'm quite aware of the fact that I suck right now. Really nothing has happened that has made me feel compelled to open my big mouth for the last week. However, I gotta say watching the oscars in high def. was great for all the bling-bling. & yes I know it's so last year but like I give a shit!

My crazy-ass sister moved back after a long month & half with my nieces & nephews so that's making me way happy & taking up a ton of extra-cirricular time right now. (Note- crazy sista & not the normal one)

One of my friends & her husband have started the separation & divorce talks which makes me so sad. Never thought I would be the anit-divorce person but I'm trying to get them to meet at Camp David & work out a peace agreement. I love them both & they have a 4 year old so I really, really want them to work!

It's so sad how two people living in the same house , sleeping in the same bed can grow apart from each & become strangers in a matter of time. Propably nost the wisest thing to do to try & convince them to work it out or to do everything they possibly can do before they call game over but that's where I am. How do I get myself in the middle of these things?
