OK, totally random but I remembered something funny that happened last year...
My best friend's girlfriend was moving into a new apartment, so me and my friend helped her out one night. While moving stuff he asked her where to put something and the ensuing conversation followed...
My friend: Hey, where do I put this?
His girlfriend: Under...there
My friend: Under where?
His girlfriend: I GOT YOU TO SAY UNDERWEAR!
*Loud laughs continue to ensue
What I find funny about this quick moment is how my friend handled it. "So what? You got me to say something stupid! Big whoop!" and tried to brush it off, even though he was clearly embarrassed by it. Instead of laughing with us he tried to make us look silly for laughing.
Its moments like this that truly defines a person, and makes EXCELLENT writing material. He was in denial that he was owned by an old children's prank and didn't have any witty comment to counter it. It as a great moment of humanity that definitely inspired many a moment in my stories.
I may sound like I am being a jerk and enjoying this at my friend's expense, but its quite the opposite. I love it when fictional characters and real people break out of their "characters", even if its for just a moment, because that one moment can say A LOT about a person that knowing them their how life. My friend definitely try to play it cool and say it wasn't a big deal, but I'm sure in his mind he is annoyed at the fact that he fell for a very old joke.
I could go on and on about it, but considering this is the interwebs, and my friend knows that I post here I'm afraid I might get killed

My neighbors recently (I think) got 2 rabbits. They keep them outside in a cage (I don't know if they bring them in at night or not). Our yards are separated by a chain-link fence. I have 2 dogs. My dogs (especially Harry) are intrigued by the rabbits. Harry was just at the corner of our fence, and the little boy next door (who I can barely understand) asked if Harry was going to bite the rabbits. I said no. One of rabbits got out of its cage (I don't know if the little boy opened the cage or what...), and I told the boy that he should get his bunny before it runs away. Finally, his grandfather (at least that's who I think it is) got the bunny from their front lawn. I'm glad the bunny didn't run away.
I worry about my dogs and that little boy; he's getting older, so hopefully he'll get smarter; many months ago, I think he was trying to feed my dog(s) something, or I thought that he was for some reason...I just don't trust him, and especially with the bunny incident, I really can't trust him. I don't think that he'd really unlatch our gate and let my dogs roam free, but I worry about things like that. The family seems nice, but a day or two ago, I was worried...that's when they moved the rabbit cage from far away from the fence to right next to the fence. Right where my dogs can have a great view of them.
There are lots of dogs in my neighborhood, and it's not like mine are the only dogs that bark (the one across the street constantly barks...except for right now, lol, when mine is the one barking), but the rabbits make my dogs bark more, which may frustrate other neighbors (the neighbors that I know don't mind, but other people might). I don't think that someone would call animal control or someone about all the dogs barking often, but the rabbits make my dogs bark even more, and I get paranoid, I guess. It stresses me when they bark so much...not because I care too much (even though sometimes I do), but because I don't want anyone in the neighborhood getting upset. It's not my fault that my dogs bark...it's like telling a baby not to cry.
I usually leave the back door open, so the dogs can go outside and "go" when they need to (because they have no problem "going" inside the house). Because of the rabbits, I'm finding myself luring my dogs inside with a treat, so I don't have to worry about them escaping and getting a rabbit. I don't think that my dogs would eat the rabbits; they bark at cats, but they're more fascinated with the cats then anything- there's one house on our walk route that has a few cats, and sometimes a cat will be close to my dogs, and the cat will arch its back...my dogs won't eat the cats, so I don't think that they'd eat the bunnies, but they'd surely chase the bunnies if they had the opportunity. I'm extra worried because my dogs have escaped before. Sally ran away the second day we had them...our fence had a hole that we didn't know about, and Bobby jumped the fence and got her. And they've ran out the front door a couple times....it's frustrating. Basset hounds are known to squeeze out of small spaces (if they can fit their nose under the space, chances are they can squeeze through it), and I don't want them out of the yard chasing bunnies.
I'm just frustrated. Hopefully getting all of this off of my chest will make me feel less stressed.
In another piece of babble, I'm so freaking lazy, I can't stand it anymore. I've been looking for a job for 6 months, and sometimes I don't look- I feel defeated, since I feel like no one will hire me. I went to the mall yesterday in search of seasonal employment. KayBee Toys is having a job fair from 11am to 6pm today, and it's 1:35pm, and I'm still in my jammies. I tend to wait to do things until after lunch, because if it's as early as 9am, I figure that lunch is only in 2 hours and that I might as well wait to do things until after lunch. I could at least shower before lunch, but no...I sit my butt down in front of the computer and find websites that entertain me (today I found http://www.bloglander.com/cheapeats/ , which is awesomely entertaining).

I was eating lunch just now, and my phone rang. Caller ID said that it was the mall, and I figured that it was Macy's calling me back about a job I applied for. I was eating, so I didn't pick up the phone, and someone left a message- I had entered a contest on the mall's website for a $100 gift card, and the lady called to let me know that I won! I'm shocked, but I'm so happy!
I don't know if I should save the gift card for Christmas shopping, or if I should get some new pots and pans, or if I should be selfish and buy movies and clothes, or if I should buy Bobby a new pair of shoes. Maybe I'll get one thing for myself and use the rest for "practical" things?

Okay... Yesterday was really bad.
I live in a small subdivison and my grandparents live in the house directly behind me. My parents ask me to go with my sisters up there once they get home, so I stay up there until my mom or dad gets home from work.
Yesterday, my grandmother pulled me outside and she had this serious (well, it's meant to be serious but I equate it to person who's seasick) look on her face. And she (and my grandfather) asked me if if I had been using their computer to go on porn sites...
First of all, you don't expect to hear that word from your grandparents, and second of all, I DIDN'T DO IT! I denied the accusations and my grandfather believed me, but I could tell my grandmother didn't. I insisted that I see the stuff... I assumed he had got a virus, but as it turns out, my cousin had been typing in some game before, like Webkinz, but instead of typing it manually, she just scrolled through the part which lists all the places you've already visited, and she hit the wrong thing and it lead her to a porn site.
I was shocked at all the stuff. It was disgusting. I think, though, I was so nervous, and unwilling to be labeled as a pervert that I started to exaggerate my reactions, making me look guilty. Still, my grandfather believed me, but he insisted to show my parents. My mom believed me as well, and by the time my dad got there, there was undeniable proof it WASN'T me.
My mom found this information page which listed all the sites and dates AND the exact times. Every single site was visited when I was in school or when I was not up there at my grandparents.
As it turns out MY COUSIN (not the one who discovered the sites, I mean, she's stupid, but not stupid enough to rat herself out), a girl who's just one month older than me, is the one who was on those sites. But my Aunt, her mother, refuses to admit it and is still blaming it on me and my siblings. My Aunt's always been a manipulative and mean person. She's really a thief. She stole from my parents, her in-laws, WAL-MART (she can't go back there), and I suspect she tried to steal one of my DVDs, too, but I caught that before anything happened. You'd think this woman would be the black sheep of the family, but since she a "devoted" Christian, she gets off with it. This is part of the reason why my siblings and I are so easily blamed. We don't go to Church regularly, but my cousins do.
I've decided I'm NOT using that computer anymore and the next chance I get, I'm speaking my mind. I should mention that my grandparents take care of this old man who is my grandfather's cousin-in-law. He's never liked me, nor my mother, and, even though I tried to be friendly, I don't like him at ALL. Yesterday, I suspected he had heard something, and whilst he usual gives me a dirty look, he gave me an especially dirty look. He's always liked my cousins much better than me or my siblings, probably because my Aunt kisses his butt like crazy and her daughters take after her. However, it is important to note that the only people who still think it wasn't my cousins are my aunt and that old man. My grandparents believe me, as do my parents. So that matters, but I want to say something, do something. Some sort of revenge for everything that's happened to me, or cause me and my family pain because of my Aunt and cousins.
Anyway, I just had to talk about that. There's 3 things I want to do: Talk to somebody, squeeze off somebody's head, and tell off my Aunt. Now I got one of those things done.

Ugh, liars suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really glad for you that everyone else believes you. I don't really have any advice on what to do, though. Do your parents like (or get along with) your aunt? If you told her off, would they be upset with you? Would your grandparents be upset with you? I'm just wondering, because if they wouldn't mind, then you might as well...but if that would pull the family apart a bit, then you might want to bite your tongue...?

My parents... Not particularly. I mean, she is my mother's sister, but my mother has always had problems with my Aunt and my grandparent's relationship, and I've already told my mother that if the subject comes up around my Aunt and cousin, and if I'm provoked, I'll say something. My aunt does kiss up to my grandparents (like she does EVERYONE), and a lot of time they just can't say no to her requests. I think my grandfather is afraid of her. And if you saw the man, you'd be surprised to learn that he's afraid of anything. He gets off pretty annoying sometimes, but I suspect he's a fragile person inside.Ugh, liars suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tearing up the family, yeah, I've been afraid of that. My grandparent's know my feelings about my Aunt's husband... my uncle, if I could call him that. And it's obvious that I don't get along with my cousins anymore. We used to be best friends, but now that I'm older, I can see their manipulative ways clearly. I stay away from that negative energy and it disgusts me. So they know I don't necessarily get along with that part of the family.
Still though, if I told her off, it wouldn't be much more than a snarky remark... I notice I always come up with my best remarks and hour after I should have said them. Besides, I'm too cowardly to really cross the line. My mother would probably be glad to hear me say something to her, I take after her when it comes to these things. The problem is, I have my dad's sense, so before and after I say something, I thoroughly think about it. So no, I don't think it'd tear up the family and it would give me some justification. And yet I'm not entirely convinced I'm confident enough in myself to say something. The woman intimidates me.
I don't know... I'm sure my Aunt realizes that my cousin did it, but she just won't admit it. I meant to mention that my cousins are home-schooled, and usually on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays they're up at my Grandparents from 1:00-6:00 (it varies, though), so this gives my cousin a perfect opportunity to get on those sites. It's funny, just yesterday morning I was remarking to my mother how my cousin was always on the computer... now we know why.
I guess it will be best to keep with my plan, though. If I'm provoked by my aunt, my cousin, or, we'll add the old man to the list (keep in mind I don't really call him that. I just want to be as ambigous as I possibly can), I'll say something, just enough to make them question themselves and make them realize my position on the subject, and that I'm not to be messed with.

My computers getting fixed 
Maybe now I can watch youtube videos without having to try 50 times to make the sound work or play World of Warcraft without any lag making me move at snail pace.
Oh and I have a funny story..sort of. My friend came to visit and I had to go outside into the courtyard to open the gate to let her in (since you need a key for it) and I was in such a rush I forgot I was wearing Playboy Bunny pajama pants
The little old lady who came from the laundry room didn't seem to notice.
Also, I went to bring out Christmas tree out from storage and I forgot about the step and went sliding down the stairs on my tree Stupid stairs must hate me.

So, I'm getting a new laptop:
My sister...as always, finally smashed my lap; When I was out "the lap fall down from the desk" and the HD is broke, or at least that seems to be because when starting it says:"Disk error, please hit ctrl + alt + sup"
I'm surprised...and mad, that my mom was like "relax it was an accident" and as usual my sis won't pay me a cent! So now I'm looking for one of those notebooks(maybe the acer one or the hp) so I can have it FULL TIME with me.

I just finished watching A Walk to Remember. I've loved this movie and the book for years.
In the story, (minor spoilers!) Jamie has a list of things she wants to accomplish in her lifetime, and later, Landon has one, too. I remember that in about 2003, Mandy Moore actually did something similar in a magazine, having a list of things she wanted to accomplish in her lifetime.
I don't have a list like that. I can't even come up with anything besides wanting to be happy. I mean, I am happy sometimes. I'm not a miserable person or anything, but I just don't really have any ambition. Part of me feels like I've wasted part of my life. I have passions for things, but I guess I feel like things are out of my reach, and I'm too scared to try. If you told me even when I was 16 or 17 how my life would be even a year or two later, I wouldn't have believed it. I feel like at some point in my life, something went off-track, like events just kept spiraling that maybe shouldn't have happened. I'm sitting here crying, partly because that movie always makes me cry, and partly because of what I'm writing. I don't even know why I'm posting this on the Internet for everyone to read...but that's what UD is...a safe place, I guess.

Amy, that list reminds me of the movie "The Bucket List."
And I'm going to say something, and I hope you're not offended by it because you're one of my favorite UDers!
You always say you're so sad with your life, marriage, career, etc. I really think you need to take a chance with your life. Even if it means moving. I know you want to work for Disney Channel or work in movies or TV shows. That would require moving to California or New York City if you want to acomplish that goal. I would suggest asking Bobby how he feels about moving somewhere else, and ask him for advice on looking for a job. If he doesn't want to move, then...I don't really know what to tell you. But I really really hope you're happy in life, because you only live once, and why live in depression? We don't know what comes after death, and even though we all hope it's a happier place, we really need to live our life on Earth to the fullest. Good luck!

Thank you, Dan! About moving...I've mentioned (I don't know how serious I was about it, but I was at least partly serious) to Bobby about working for Disney Movie Club, which is based in Neenah, WI. He said that he doesn't want to move there, especially not for a low-paying job. So, if I secured a "decent" paying job (whatever that is), then maybe he'd consider it.
It's hard. I told him today that if I wanted someone down my throat about getting a job, I wouldn't have moved out of my parents' house in the first place. It's just hard being nagged at. Yes, I could look for jobs or volunteer opportunities more often, but even though I take days off, I do spend a decent amount of time looking! I do go on interviews, and I've applied to or submitted my resume for literally hundreds of jobs in the past 6 months.

If he's nagging you then maybe he should stop nagging and start being helpful. Tell him to help you look for a job that's decent paying, keep an eye out for places looking to hire etc. Or he could even help with a bit of roleplaying, if you have an interview he could pretend to be the boss and interview you to help you be comfortable with being asked various questions, does that make sense?

Anways, today my Mom and I were walking to her work and some jerk threw garbage out his truck window at us and made a rude comment, of course we both wheeled around at the time fingering them with a loud F-You A*****e
Then we burst into laughter at being in synch. If I ever see that guys truck again I'll write the liscence plate down and put it in the paper saying the guy who owns this truck is a real jerk in our Roses and Thorns column.My Disney focused instagram: disneyeternal

I can't believe someone threw trash at you- that's really awful. But it's awesome that you and your mom swore at the same time and laughed about it. Just based on that, I bet that your mom is cool!
Bobby does email me jobs sometimes...a lot of times, they're not really what I'm looking for (even though I don't know what I'm looking for). Sometimes I will apply to jobs that he sends me. I apply to jobs on a decent basis...just not every day, and I haven't this week- I was sick, and I don't every week, because, especially now, not that many new jobs are posted each week. Last week, I applied to a bunch of jobs.
The job market is just tough. He brought Harry (one of our doggies) to the vet to get his nails clipped and to get shots, and Bobby & I talked on the phone, and he mentioned about if I had a job, the extra money would help out. He said that we're basically living paycheck to paycheck (but I know that we have savings, too). We're getting by...he's making a little more sense to me now; the extra money would make us more comfortable. He said that I shouldn't, I guess, waste time getting a cashiering job or something, just focus my time applying to "good" jobs. What a "good" job is in his mind, I don't know.

A good and easy way to earn cash (and meet celebrities) is to be an extra in movies. Especially since you live in a popular city, and near places like Miami or Tampa, a lot of movies are shot there. You can apply online, and they'll e-mail you when there's a movie needing extras in your area. Just a suggestion.

Even if you just got a job as a cashier you'd still be making that extra money, and money is money it may not be the most amazing job ever but you'd still be getting more money than you are nowblackcauldron85 wrote:

Besides you could always get a part time job as a cashier or something else until you can find one of those "good" jobs.My Disney focused instagram: disneyeternal
