Working in customer service is really making me disappointed with the general population of this town. For the few awesome people who shop there, I'll have 100 customers who ask the most ridiculous questions and obviously can't read. It's very disappointing.
Going to Warrensburg tomorrow. That should be pretty fun. Hopefully, there'll be some awesome people there, and the creepy guy who was touching my hair won't show up. Gross.
Tomorrow is June 1st. My birthday is in 26 days. I highly doubt anything special will be planned. I think I've done all the planning the past few years...no one really steps up to do it. I don't expect my mom to anymore, because I don't really have a family get together. Maybe I'm being childish, but I'd just really appreciate it if something special was planned for me, but not by me. Blah. I'm not going to get my hopes up. I'll be at Cornerstone anyway...
Something else that's disappointing: ex-friends. I'm tired of being friends with someone, only to find out that they're crazy and full of drama. It's very frustrating. This friend in particular, got really upset with me because we were having a celebration for Ben's bday out in Warrensburg. Instead of being an adult and just coming anyway and celebrating 2 bdays, she sends me some of the bitchiest emails I've ever received. She then decides to write a bulletin on myspace about it, but doesn't use any names. If you're going to write a bulletin (which is meant to be read by everyone), grow some balls and use names. Instead of playing into her petty little games, I simply told her to not talk to me until she could say something nice. Almost a month goes by, and I start getting emails via myspace and facebook from her asking me why I deleted her from my friends list. (I did so because I wanted no contact with her) I simply said that she was rude to me, and then I asked her not to talk to me until she could be nice. She then sends me 3-4 more emails telling me I was full of drama and I was being bitchy and stuff, to which I simply replied, "Please leave me alone." I don't know how much more clear I could get, so I simply blocked her and no longer have to deal with her craziness anymore.
Thank goodness for my sane friends...
Tomorrow is a day of homework. Wish me luck...I'll need it.

Something in the air
There must be something in the air in Missouri, because the majority of the people I've come in contact with in the past few days have been assholes.
Fun little story about last night:
Some woman calls in about a late fee, and she's already mad. She tells me that there was a death in the family, so the Illusionist was late. I try explaining to her that we can work with her on one of them, but not the other two. She proceeds to yell at me. I hang up on her. She calls back and tells me that I have no compassion and I've never had death touch my life before. That's when I almost lost it. I wanted to say, "I've lost the one person in this entire world that I was closest to. That hole in my heart will never be healed. Not only that, but in this year, I've lost 3 people." What I said though was, "I've lost three people this year, so before you assume things about people, take a step back and think about it first because it's very rude and hurtful." She replied to that by screaming, "WELL I LOST 6 PEOPLE ON 9/11." Bull shit. Whatever. She ended up hanging up on me. Today, her asshole husband came in, cussed out my coworker, and told her he'd never come back again. Fine by us.
What else?
Oh, this guy got an MIP, and had the nerve to ask a friend of mine, who's in a band, to do a show for free so he could have the share of money my friend would have gotten. He wants my friend to drive 3 hours to a small town, play a show for free, and drive back 3 hours...so he can pay off his MIP ticket. That's absurd.
My brother is getting worse. He's so incredibly spoiled, and he only let's his hateful side show in front of me, my mom, and sometimes my aunt. He yells at us, is hateful to us, and then gets what he wants. I'm done with it. I'm just going to try not to talk to him. Maybe if he grew up like I did with almost nothing, little food, moving from one place to another, etc...instead of getting his own tv, dvds, ps2, $80 shoes, etc...he'd be different. I'm thankful for everything good that's happened recently, and I'm thankful that I no longer have to go without...but I'm thankful for the times when I did do without so I can appreciate how wonderful my life really is right now.

Oh, customer service...
What a long night.
I don't understand people. I don't understand how people can be such assholes to someone because they're unhappy at something that is their own fault. It is NOT my fault that someone has late fees. Tonight, I was accused three times of putting late fees on peoples' accounts. Ok, I cannot do this. It is actually impossible. About 4 times I was told that the computer had the date and time wrong, so the movies weren't actually late. oook...And a number of times they were just complete bastards. Cool.
One kid was complaining about a rule and being really hateful, so I said, "How about you call corporate and tell them how you feel instead of being rude to me?" So he took the number and left. Cool.
My last customer of the night was actually really cool because I let this kid in like a minute after we closed to grab a game and he told me I was awesome. Good ending to a shitty night.
Tomorrow I am going to try and get my butt to the community center to run or swim. Damn, I hate running...but I need to get back into the groove of exercising everyday. Hopefully I'll get a bike for my birthday, so I can get exercise that way.
Sometimes it gets tiring being second.

Just some thoughts
I've got a lot on my mind. Nothing really connects together, so it's kind of a mess in my head.
I'm tired of working customer service in a small town where few appreciate stuff beyond Larry the Cable Guy.
I'm worried that I'm completely uninteresting to those around me.
I'm thankful that I have such close friends.
I'm proud of myself for finally sticking up for myself.
I need to express how I'm feeling more, but I really have no idea how to.
I'm tired of people putting down my faith just because they've lost their's.
I love that I've weeded people out of my life who put me down and upset me.
For some reason, I'm afraid that I upset people without knowing it.
I'm really not sure what's been making me think about all of that. It was an extremely stressful school year, and now it's summer and I should relax.
I'm sure I will be able to. I've just got to figure some things out.
