So. I've been running nonstop since yesterday around 10AM.

Work at 10AM, worked on the computer I posted about yesterday. God, that thing needs so much work and there's so much I need to delete off of it. Off at 1PM, went over to my mom's, car wasn't there, so I caught the bus up to the mall. Chatted with Rob at Suncoast, went over to MCI the do paperwork and get my drug screen crap. Over to the pet store, got money off TJ for the cell bill. Stopped at the new $1 movie theater they're putting in and filled out an application, stopped at Shoe Carnival and got an application for there, as well. Then, went over and stood in line for 10 minutes at Cingular to pay the bill, cause thay onlu ever have 3 people working there and 2 are ALWAYS helping NEW customers with getting phones and shit. When all I want to do is take 5 minutes to pay my fucking bill and go on my way. >_< Fuckers. Back over to the mall, walked around, then back over to the pet store to sit in the car and wait for TJ go get off of work.

After that, we went out to the Village, found out they close at 8PM. We thought it was 9PM.

Back out to the car after buying a few things, and everything goes downhill.

See, TJ gave me the key to unlock the car so I could put my papers and crap in it and all. The key was on my Hello Kitty keychain, which is -usually- on my beltloop. I left it in the car. With the cell phone.

You can only imagine how pissed TJ was with me.

So, I got over to the gas station, to see if they can help.

Here's where the fun begins.

The Village is on the corner of Meridian and Mahoning in -Youngstown-. The gas station is on the corner of Meridian and Mahoning in -Austintown-. Remember this, kids. It turns out, that the Youngstown Police will not unlock cars anymore. Why? I don't know. And the Austintown police won't cross Meridian and unlock cars because it's out of their fucking township.

Yes. Exactly. What kind of bullshit is that? And we couldn't get in the car to move it to the gas station, anyhow.

So, this guy from the gas station asks me if I need a ride back to Warren, cause he's going that way. I really don't want to take a ride from some stranger, so I have him take me back over to the car. Completely ignoring that I didn't want to take a ride from a stranger. Yes. But I didn't get a bad vibe from him, and I can take care of myself in a public place.

So, after me and TJ fighting and shit, the guy has me call a towing company, and he has them come out with a slim jim to unlock the car.

The price? $35.

What? You and TJ don't have money, Alaina! You can't pay that!

Yes, I know. But here's the kicker.

He gave me the $35, plus a couple dollars extra for something to drink.

Proof that decent people do still exist, I guess. I had him give me his address so I could pay him back in the future. Cause he was really patient and everything, even though he was going out to meet his buddies at Lake Milton.

TJ took the extra cash as a "Having To Deal With Your Stupid Shit" fee.

But we got home, and then my mom calls. See, I had called the market down the street from her to see if they could get her and gave her bring me the keys. They told her to go to our place first, and I had called home to tell the hag to tell my mom not to worry about it. Turns out her stupid ass went out to the Village first, then was complaing about how she didn't think she had the gas to get back into town. Well, y'know, I told you what to do. Had we done things MY WAY, that wouldn't have happened. Augh.

Anyhow, in other news, I'm crampy. Gotta go for my drug test Monday sometime between working at the thrift store and then getting to work at MCI at 4PM. I may have to call off at the thrift store in order to get it done in time. And, uh, can you take a drug test if your on your period? >_>? I honestly don't know. And I -have- to take it in order to work. Lovely.

Oh yeah...

As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries represents the first stage in the evolution of man and his place in the universe. The raw energy of life itself, which is the first step in being part of the universe, is evident in the character and make-up of Aries people. Babies think of themselves as the center of everyone else's universe. As they grow older, they learn that they are not the center but part of a family group. It is the karmic responsibility of the Aries-born to accept the idea that they are not the center of the universe but part of the larger social order of all men. Aries personalities who do not develop this kind of maturity are demanding and infantile in their behavior. They want what they want, when they want it. The vital life force that is their celestial heritage can either be used to inspire others as well as themselves, or it can be turned inward to reflect only their own selfish needs, and as a result, they fail to evolve as individuals.

Aries people are doers. They set out to accomplish things and are determined to succeed one way or another. The astrological symbol for Aries is the Ram and, considering the sheer force of energy and enthusiasm by which they accomplish their goals, it is not off the mark to suggest that they "ram" their way to success. They must, however, learn the difference between being confidently aggressive--a responsible "take-charge person" on whom others rely to get things moving-- and being rudely aggressive-- a "know-it-all" who is insensitive to the feelings as well as the wisdom of others.

Aries individuals react in a physical way to everything they experience in life. That is, before they assess the practicality or worth of what they are doing, before they sort out their true emotions, and, before they take time to reason things out intellectually, their tendency is to shoot first and ask questions later. Their passionate nature is inspiring and flattering to others, but unless impatience and rash behavior are curbed, their unbridled enthusiasm backfires when they lose interest just as quickly as they gained it. Theirs is the astrological sign of the soldier but in their haste, they forget the practicality of being adequately armed before rushing headlong into physical or verbal combat. They quickly forget frustration and anger. Since theirs is essentially a generous nature, their selfishness is usually a result of carelessness rather than intentional unkindness.

Active, fiery Mars rules Aries and indeed, Aries people are high-spirited, energetic individuals ready to try anything at least once. Courageous, optimistic, and friendly, they are lively participants in the everyday bustle of life, maintaining a frantic pace others find difficult to match. Constant physical activity works off excess energy, and its vitalizing influence is important to their intellectual and creative endeavors. It is usually the energetic Aries who is willing to start projects others would be afraid to tackle. However, it is also Aries who often fails to finish things when too many details demand attention or they simply lose interest. In spite of the physical energy associated with Aries, they are not above using the inability of others to keep up with them as an excuse for their own idleness. If they expect others to provide them with constant stimulation and are unwilling to find their own diversions, they become lazy. Cut off from physical activity, they become depressed, unproductive, and overweight.

They are eager athletes and generous players. They enjoy the challenge of a tough contest, but they can be so stimulated that they become too aggressive. Aries rules guns and weapons, so it isn't surprising that many Aries individuals enjoy hunting. Combative by nature, they also enjoy boxing, wrestling, and most team sports. They are apt to be mechanically inclined and adept at arts and crafts, typing, working with machinery, playing musical instruments, or performing magic tricks. They have a tendency to allow their enthusiasm to exceed their actual ability. Before taking something apart, they don't stop to wonder if they can put it back together.

Aries colors are red and white. Vulnerable parts of the body are the head and face. As a sign of this celestial association, many Aries individuals are born with a birth mark on their head or face. Headaches, black eyes, nose bleeds, and insect bites are common Aries complaints. The birthstone for Aries is the diamond. The tremendous heat and pressure that nature exerts in turning carbon into hard, brilliant diamonds represent the strength and physical force in the Aries-born. Flowers for Aries include the poppy (red), geraniums, honeysuckle, and hollyhocks
