Power to the woman
Couple of days ago a friend said something that struck me. She said, that women are very intriguing. They have such an amazing intuition when it comes to guys and everything else in life, its just inexplainable. Which is absolutely 100%, and in my case it makes me vulnerable. I had a little dilemma which involved a guy and a couple of mixed signals both returning and receiving. Using my "womanly intuition" I was able to interpret these signs as a possible reciprocal relationship. Yet problem is, he has a girlfriend. How you wonder how the whole vulnerable part plays in? See this is another extraordinary fact about the woman's mind. Unlike most males, we tend to step back and evaluate the situation beforehand rather than jumping the gun and possibly making fools of ourselves. If I was to continue returning the signals, I'd be making a fool of myself and also being shut down risking utter embarrassment. Life is so freaking complex, yet women always know a way out of complexity .. me on the other hand .. I struggle.

woman of the week...
Despite her nose, Lea Michele is pretty awesome .. GLEE finale tomorrow night =D, woohooman of the week...
VINNY D from JERSEY SHORE! All this talk of Jersey Shore from David, reminded me of Vinny =PArt of Awkwardness .. part ?
I love watching other people in awkward situations, but when its me being the awkwardee, then its a TOTAL different story.
So being school holidays and all, I've been working pretty much everyday this week. And being school holidays and all, EVERYONE is at the shopping centre trying to get into those sales everywhere, so it's inevitable that they're bound to get hungry. It's lunchtime, I'd probably say just past the peak of rush hour (lunch) but not entirely finished, so maybe around 1pm. There's about fifteen or so people lined up at all three cashiers, I'm in the middle. There's this couple, an Aboriginal couple (before I go any further, I would like to say that I am not being racial or stereotyping Aboriginal people), they're probably early 40's to mid 40's. I do the usual meet and greet ...
Hi, how are you? What would you like today?
The two don't answer, so I take that as they're still deciding what to eat. In the mean time, the couple start pulling out money from all possible pockets pulling out all loose change, 20c, 10c, 5c and an occassional $1 they'd find. About twenty seconds of rumaging through their pockets, the lady yells out, for all other customers to hear ...
Go pay for your slut!
She throws all her loose change at the counter in front of me and walks off, before taking one final glance at me. You do not understand how awkward I was feeling at the very moment. I didn't know what to say to the man left stranded at the counter, having to pick up all the loose change. I looked around hoping no one else heard what the lady had called me. So being the best cashier I could be I finally pucked up the courage to say something ...
How may I help you today sir?
Stupidest thing to say! He man just shakes his head and slowly begins to pick up all the loose change. The lady behind him just tried her best not to laugh and not look at my lost face. All I could think of was, was she calling me a slut? And what have I ever done to her? Such an embarassing moment, everyone watching and listening, I couldn't exactly hide either, which made it worse. Don't know if this relates, but last week I was asked at work if I was pregnant, because I called in sick one MORNING. Any links there? ;) LOL
p.s: I finally get my results from uni tomorrow! WISH ME LUCK =D

Freeeeeeeeeeeeedom
I'M FREEE!!!! Well technically I was free as of the 24th of July ;), but still I'M FREEEEEEEEE!!!! The feeling is exhilirating. I no longer feel that ongoing strain in my backside that all my uni work would cause. One whole month of not having to worry about when this assignment is due, or when this exam starts. One whole month of freedom!
So now its down to business, and by business I mean working my ass off at work for minimal wage. Don't get me wrong, I love my work. Not exactly, I love the people at work who make everything better by just being there. Their presence just makes me smile, especially particular people. But I do hate actually having to deal with customers. Being in the fast food industry just made me realise how picky, rude, arrogant and impatient people are! One day I swear I'm going to crack. That's what sucks about being at the "front" of the store, everyone has their eyes on you, watching your every move and how long its gonna take for you to prepare their food and one move could set them off.
Anyway, so I'm gonna work my ass off this month so I can go on a holiday with some friends at the end of the year. Exciting I know. I've saved up quiet a lot of money, but still, I could have saved more if I thought about it.
In short, I'M FREEEEEEEE!!!
