Darn that Kanye West. I own all of his cd’s and find his egocentric personality to be revolting and yet here I am listening to “Love Lockdown” nonstop ever since the MTV Video Music Awards. Which, by the way, weren’t as bad as last years. I thought Britney looked a lot like her old self so it was nice to see her talking in her real voice and not in a London accent like we all starting hearing like a year ago. Russell Brand didn’t bother me nor did his jabs at the Jonas Brothers. I admit that I downloaded their cd, I like it but I don’t quite get the purity ring thing. I have no qualms with their faith or anything like that, I just don’t understand why someone’s choice to have (or not have sex) is based upon a ring on their finger? It’s a promise to God not to have sex until marriage which I understand, but the only reason I can see wearing a ring is to basically show the world that they’re a virgin. Which is great. Really. But I just don’t see why they can’t just be virgins without having to wear the rings? Is it a reminder so that every time Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift make out that he doesn’t accidentally “forget” that he’s still a virgin? Call me pessimistic but I never believed when Britney claimed to be a virgin so I’ve questioned the Jonas Brother’s reliability on more than one occasion. It IS their personal business and I’m not sure why I’m even blogging about this crap. But Jordin Sparks’ reaction to it at the VMA’s made it sound like anyone who didn’t have a purity ring like her was a “slut.” Ah Russell, he sure made quite a stir at the VMA’s. *makes a mental note to buy Forgetting Sarah Marshall on DVD*

I’m over the flu that I had last entry, or whatever the hell it was. I don’t want to get sick like that again for a long ass time. I was so miserable and I hated being at work. Last Wednesday I came in still sick out of my mind, and what am I greeted with? “We need you to help do mannequins today!” And by help, they actually mean do all the fucking work because none of them are strong enough to LIFT the mannequins. So all I do is stand there holding it while they figure out what outfit to put on it and of course the damn thing’s arms fall off and HIT my toe and ughhhhhhh. I dread Wednesdays because of it. We had some shoplifting incidents occur and apparently we all “don’t know how to do our job” and other callous remarks which is pretty much BS because one person working in one store while it’s busy is HARD. I try to wait on everyone but sometimes there’s just no possible way. So now she’s always watching the cameras in our back room and it makes me super paranoid to DO anything. For instance, I cleaned the entire store because it was super slow and she tells me that she was watching me clean. It’s like….okay then that’s sort of creepy and what if I had a wedgie or something? At least at my old job I never had to see them watching me with the cameras so I can pretty much be myself without the fear of being judged.

I’ve been back in school for over a week now and am glad to be something productive. Or I was lol, until my gym class ended up being a class with fitness barbie on crack. I was thinking about dropping it because:
-I’m a tad bit lazy. Er okay, pretty darn lazy
-It makes me sweat
-I have to go to 2 other classes after that with no makeup on and looking like shit.

Buttttt I came around and decided to give it another try. It’s an extremely physical class where you move around constantly and kick, punch, squat, lunge and the whole nine yards. I started bringing extra clothes to change into afterward and stuffed some makeup in my bag so that I can at least freshen up a little bit. Still though, I hate feeling gross and disgusting like that without being able to get a shower. But I’m getting a pretty killer workout and even though I’m sore as hell, I feel good.
