From the monthly archives:
I like to take photos. Usually film. I’m so glad autumn is here because it’s my favorite time to take pictures; the weather is nice and everything is beautiful. So, I have this photoblog. There isn’t much there, but it might be nice to look at anyway. It has old images right now, until I can get back out (and drag my sister to model for me). So go ahead. Click away. Let me know your thoughts, good or bad.

Disclaimer: This post is sort of all-over-the-place, but I’m tired. I’m running on low energy.
I like my job. Most of the time. Honestly, it’s not that bad–I get most of my reading done while at work. However, I usually work third shift. That’s not the bad part, really. The bad part is that sometimes I work second shift too, so my sleeping schedule gets pretty screwed up.
The other day after work, I came home around 7:30 in the morning, and I didn’t go to bed until around one that afternoon, sleeping until nine that night. I didn’t have to work that night, but I ended up staying awake all night, anyway. Around four in the morning, I attempted sleep because I had to work at three in the afternoon that day. Well, sleep never came. Josh got home from work after seven (he works third shift too), and I attempted sleep again around ten. Again, no sleep. That was Tuesday (though it feels like so long ago). So, I went to work at three, not getting home until sometime after 11:30. (Are all of these times confusing you yet?)
I still didn’t sleep. I stayed up all night/morning to prepare myself for now (working third shift again). That brings us to yesterday. I finally went to bed around nine yesterday morning, after about thirty-six hours of no sleep (I know it’s not that bad, people do it all the time), sleeping for eight hours.
And now here I am. At work. At 3:30 in the morning, eating soup. Exhausted. And I work again tonight (third shift). I figured that after sleeping eight hours, I’d be okay but, well, is it possible for your bones to ache? Because mine do.
This is why I want to go back to school. Not because it will help me now, but because in the future, I’ll be able to work a normal job with normal hours. I’m disappointed with myself for taking this semester off. I’m still considered a “freshman,” so I have a way to go, unfortunately. I am so ready to go back, though. I actually miss school; I miss doing homework. Odd, I know, but true.
I was a decent student in high school, and I even made great grades my first semester in college. But second semester, I got tired of it all and ended up losing my scholarship. Now, I can’t earn it back until I have another good semester in school, but I can’t have another good semester until I can afford to go back. I’m hoping to go back in the spring, but it looks like I may have to wait until next fall.
I want a career, not a job. I want to make a decent living. I want to be able to (help) support my future family. And I wouldn’t mind wearing nice clothes to work, either. Maybe heels. I like heels.
But I have to go to school first… So that’s what I’m aiming for. I just hope it comes sooner rather than later.

If I had to vote today, I’d vote for Obama. I have nothing against McCain (though I’m not sure yet if I like Palin or not; however, I don’t know if I like Biden or not yet either), but I feel that I lean more toward a liberal view on things. I think a lot of young people do (maybe not so much where I live, though–right in the middle of the Bible belt [not that there's anything wrong with that]… you know where the Scopes Monkey Trial took place? Yeah, I live reallllly close to there). There is just something about Obama that I like. He’s very intelligent, and his wife is truly lovely. However, those aren’t good enough reasons to base my decision on.
I know that I need to educate myself on the issues at hand. Facts and opinions. So, I’m asking you, my readers. I know a lot of people don’t like to discuss who they are planning to vote for, so if you don’t want to answer my questions, that’s quite alright; I respect your choice to keep your candidate private. To those of you who don’t mind discussing: who do you plan to vote for and why? Are any of you as lost as I am?I’m not looking for any sort of debate here. I truly want to hear both sides (or a completely different side, even).
P.S. I work third shift (usually) at my job, so I sometimes watch Fox News late at night–chalk full of politics. I think the person who hacked into Sarah Palin’s private email is completely idiotic. The fact that they published it on a website? That’s just plain wrong.

Monday and Tuesday night, I will be staying at my parent’s house. They needed someone to keep an eye on my siblings and take my brother to and from school. Of course, they asked me first, and I agreed. But why? Well, they’re taking a trip out of town. Together. And they’ll be staying overnight. Together.
My parents are going to work things out.
I don’t know why the sudden change. My dad told me this morning that he asked Mom to work things out, and I suppose she agreed. Under one condition: that they have date nights every once in a while.
I truly hope my parents can work everything out. I want them happy, and it would be wonderful if they could be happy together.
