an ACE's night out

Kevin was suuuper precise about his fire

Shawn and Kevo. We like them. 

i was serious about him being OCD about this. 

And Michael loooved taunting him. 

Clari got a wopping 8! 

Cristal got 13! 

          

                           Kevo took gold with 15!! Shawn looks impressed. but lets be honest, we all were.                                     

and i had 4. 

the others stuffed them all, so Shawn only had 3.

Shawn. we missed you way too much these last few weeks. we're never letting you leave again. you are too funny. 

us cashiers. 

Cristal liked the watermelon. 

One heck of a night to remember. 

cloud nine

i have been so incandescently happy these last few weeks.

i find myself smiling at the little things in life. 

things i might normally have missed. 

if i said i don't know why that is, that would be an outright lie,

because i know without a shadow of a doubt why i have been so cheery. 

men. 

they are the worst. 

yet they have the ability to  brighten your day by merely a few words? 

its messed up. but i like it. 

and i like it a lot. 

i wake up looking forward to what the day holds. i have a new found enthusiasm for life.

its silly of me i know, but this whole situation is refreashing in most ways, 

yet weird in a few too. 

its been two and a half years since i've felt like this. 

and i have needed it, needed to get over the past, and this is helping me do just that, and much more.

thanks Y chromosome. 

Snow White & the Huntsman

just one thing, 

this movie did not disappoint. 

maybe it was just because of the handsome huntsman

(whom you never find out his name)

but probably not. 

it was really good. 

there were a few parts that kinda weirded me out, 

and Charlize was naked multiple times, 

but very good over all. 

well done!

the latest.

i have officially been assigned to a city within China!! i'm totally freaking out and beyond excited! i have been assigned to the city, Zhongshan. does anyone know how to pronounce that? cause i sure dont. 

here is a map. 

i know that it is hard to read, and for that i am sorry. but basically that is going to be me to the left of the body of water, and where the red line ends, well ladys and gents, that would be Hong Kong. 
here i sit tonight, unable to sleep because i am just so excited to embark on this new journey of mine. 
but really, i should be going to sleep, i start my new job in the morning. i love this, i love life. 

Guess who's going to China?!

... this girl is! 

i got the acceptance email yesterday at work. 

and i am so incredibly excited! yet so incredibly nervous as well. 

i cried when i got the email. out of so much excitement, yet so many nerves. 

leaving home for 4 months is unlike anything i have ever done in my life. 

leaving everything i know, for something i so.... don't know. 

i just want to say this, it is going to be one of the greatest adventures of my life, 

and i am sooo looking forward to it!!

China, here i come!

opening the doors.

change sucks, but as everyone has always said, it is good and helps you progress. in my mind i agree, in my heart i think some cotton headed ninny muggin made that up. every time change comes knocking on my door i usually lock it tight and hide. not this time. i'm opening the door wide and not necessarily inviting it in, but not locking it out either, which makes me nervous but excited.

Derek moved out a week ago. and i cried then. not because i was going to miss him, but because i know that this one change, is just the beginning of so much more. i don't like that. we're growing up guys. when i asked a customer how he was doing today he said, "the best ever, and do you know why that is? because i live one day at a time. i don't live in the past nor the future, i enjoy the now."

it hit me like a ton of rocks. i need to stop worrying about the future, and stop looking at the past. obviously i need to prepare for the future, but prepare and worry are two totally different things. i hope i can find the balance.

i'll keep you all posted.

Come again?

Vampire Diaries followers.
what the heck was up with the ending to season 3!?! it was so amazing!! but it makes me want to kill myself!
we have 3 and a half months till we find out what happens with the whole Damon, Stephan, and Elena problem! who are you routing for?? i think that she will go for Damon since the compulsion of their first meeting will wear off as well as the other times that he compelled her to forget. but. i think that she will all-in-all go for Stephan. i don't know how it will all pan out. and i'm nervous for it.
fact. the flashbacks killed me.
another fact. i teared up when Damon was so desperately trying to save Rick cause he knew Elena was dying.
she's a vampire now?! i'm dying! i didn't see that one coming for at least another season!
also, Klaus and Caroline? i'm a big fan. big big fan. team Klaus.
Rick, i'm going to miss him. but he freaked me out at the end.
bah. yikes. cheers to the next three months. may they pass quickly.
