Done alot lately. I hope I lost my job (I really dont want to have to say it straight out that I quit)
I got some books by anne rice to test her style of writing, so far Im engaged, which is wonderful cause I usually read a while then dump it. I am currently reading Interview With the Vampire cause, hi, the movie was HAWT.
Speaking of movies being hot, I was babysitting today and we watched The Medallion and guess who had a cameo!? NICHOLAS TSE! How my body shivers with desire and absolute adoration of the word beauty in all its humanly form! How cute he is when he speak English (Mind you, he sounds much better in Cantonese. Unless, of course, you are listening to his song "Let Me Die" Cause that song kicks ass) How wierd it is that today I have been so keen to my psychic sense.
So I spent all friday cleaning Steve's house, and then today I went to Santa Cruz to go see a movie and buy some bookz. Twin and I saw Girl With a Pearl Earring. It was not as good as Id hoped, but it was good. And then I had a psychic realization. As we were leaving the store, I go "Oh look, Twin! They have the Amici forever CD" For some reason in my head I go "Canntooo alla viiiitaa!" then I thought to myself (mind you, thoughts are faster than words) "No, tthey arent cool like Josh Groban" Lo and behold when I flipped the CD over there was Canto Alla Vita!
Now you may call this a trivial thing, frivilous, if you will, but I got that quelling in my sould as I thought it, and as unneeded as that information was, it felt like something a little more than a thought. Like the stomach wrenching I get around spirits. Its the same feeling Ive got all the other times. IS IT COINCIDENCE?! Maybe. But maybe Im psychic. Either way is fine with me!
Anyways, I got them books and some food and went home.
Then I called Margarita. She wanted me to babysit for the equivalent of an hour at 10:30. Now, I realize its 10:30 right now, so it will not make much sense, but Im sure my staying up this late is some inner act of teenage defiance. I go to bed at 8, it is VERY hard for me to stay up. No, not normally, but I have been depriving myself of sleep all this week to talk to my (now fiance) AJ who gets on after 10. So Ive been staying up till 2 in the morning and waking at 7 like always.
So I feel very WEARY in the first place. Not to mention, if I was to stay up that late, Id want to babysit longer, and charge 7 dollars an hour instead of 5. No, in fact, 10 dollars feels about right to me right now. Then I could babysit only 2 hours and be fine with it, but to stay up that late Ill need at least 20.
You see, I dont believe anyone should have to pay thier arm and leg for good childcare, however, I also cannot accept such a low price for giving up that time I could be nourishing my health so I can babysit more children. You know what I mean? I dont look out for myself enough and Ive become for lack of better words Weary and run down. I have to catch a buss in the middle of the day to go work an hour, then I go across the street to hang out with Tiwn for about an hour till I need to work again. I do this cause I can take a ride home with her. Realize it costs 6 dollars to get there and back on the bus. So two hours is not sufficient. I cant do it anymore, I wont do it anymore, not for babysitting, not for anything, its wearing me out, and Im not getting skinnier off of being worn out. the only one Id do it for babysitting is Mike. Cause.. I feel sufficiently paid for the job I do.
Anyways I called her to cancel and she pulled that "RRIIIIIIIIGHT... Well, you know.. when you are babysit-" I was telling her "Oh well, maybe we can work something out" cause Im TOO DAMM NICE and then she pulled that. Dylan knows how much the phrase, and the tone of "riiiiiight" unnerves me (Mind you, only when they are serious about it. Its so CHILDISH.) So Im like "Oh yeah Im going to have to cancel." Then I hung up.
Oh Aya! Not a good thing to do to your boss! You say? She is a CHILD. It INFURIATES me sometimes how much CONFIDENCE I can have in people to ACT THIER AGE and yet they pull this SHIT with me.
I can handle normal shit pulling, but not like this. This is the second time she's tried to talk down to me and when she called me back Im like "Listen, dont pull that "riiiiiight" crap with me, I know perfectly well my responsibilities as a babysitter, better than youll ever know, Ive been doing this for years. However put yourself in my position" and I went on to explain my theory up there about babysitting.
This is the second time she's done something like this and I almost quit the first time.
The first time we were in the store and I was going to write a receipt for these two women. Well, they didnt know how to pay and she wanted me to ring it up together...
Well.. Margarita was holding the bug cage putting it in its carriying case, mind you we have two, so I paused and she goes "Well? Why ar eyou pausing, write the receipt" and since I still wasnt sure if they were buying the bug cage (They were still decided between the other things) I said "Have you figured out how you want to pay?" and they finally decided, one would pay and the other would pay her back. So Margarita, who is always telling me random things prices to price them and such nonsense goes "This bug catcher is 11.99" and I go "So they're buying it?" And she got all Well, I dont know what the attitude was she took but its the one I dont like she goes "Of course they are, what do you think!?" And I shoulda told her "Listen bitch, dont you take hat tone with me, you could well want me to put a price tag on it, with your unorganized obscure instruction, how the fuck am I supposed to know, you stupid whore." But instead I said "Oh well, I guess I must be tired *heehee* I did stay up a little late last night." and she goes "You shouldnt stay up when you knwo you have work the next morning" I said "Im a teenager." ... end of story. BUT NO THIS STORY DOESNT END THERE. She was a FUCKING idiot the rest of the day, no, not the rest, she had started before that, being really pushy about shoving things in customer's face, and giving them HORRID suggestions that I had to counteract and appologize for her forceful nature while she was out of the room.
So I blamed it on menopause and the stars. And indeed a week or two later I felt like it had never happened so Im sure it was a planet in retrograde. HOWEVER she asked me thursday to babysit saturday, I was going to babysit without Twin from 8 till 12 or so. And I agreed. Then yesterday she asked if I could babysit from 10:30 since they found extra tickets for the kids to go to a basketball game with them and I... am too nice and agreed, so technically it was my fault. But then I also really dont like it when people try to lay the guilt trip on me "Oh but I planned this with my friends two weeks ago!" You didnt know you would have sitter till two days ago! "now Ill have to cancel on them." Not my problem, girl.
Ok, enough ranting!
Too much talk, too little knit.

She's mine! Wrahahahahah!
Still working on Twin's coat, she'll look so nice in it when its done. I realized yesterday evening I did over six rows WRONG. AUUUU! But Im not going back, Im gunna just calculate what I need to make up for it, It doesnt have to be perfect. I decided to see how a normal stockinette stitch would do on Fung...
....
....
Im still making the swatch. I think Ill make a tshirt for my bunny rabbit (its a jelly cat plushies!) out of it. It will take days, though, at this rate *eyes Fung and his two projects wearily* Im so messy.
Ill post a picture of my mess laters.
For now, I will leave you with THIS HUZZAH!

I want some of this. I am in the process of TRYING to dye my hair whiteish blonde, its really pretty, I hope it works. I lost all my bids on ebay, Im so depressed I have bad ebay karma!! Its terrible!
Maybe when I bid on my new love I will win it! I pray for that ^.^ And of course, I pray that I dont have to spend too much on it. I saw this phone at the verizon store... its beautiful. I almost cried, its evrything Ive ever wanted. A palm, A phone, internet ANYWHERE in the WORLD. I love it.
I can ebay my guts out on it at work! YAE for yarn! I didnt win this and I didnt win that so now no scarf for my sister yet. But hey, Ill find something. What about this?
Maybe Ill settle on this one.
anyways, Ill talk here later, I need to go wash my poor hair.

Yesterday I sold a whole lot for my store, worked a whole lot, too. Then my dad came home and came to pick us up, we picked up some groceries and some DOG FOOD for my hideous monster who 
tried to eat ME instead!!!! :O :O ... Just kidding, she is far from hideous, however, I wish she would try and eat me.
I need to hang out with my birds more, they are feeling left out of this journal. Today I work some more, maybe I can get the inventory done, maybe not ^.~ I will, however, bring my scarves to sell!
fung lost his knitting tool, I need to get it from Kesi's store.
Wan needs something to do. Woe is them.

Won some $$$$$$$$$$$ at a karaoke contest. ...Ok, won more like, alot of $$$$$ Knitting supplies here I come!!!
MY LIFE IS SO GOOD TO ME!
I must buy the dog more food, she likes to eat.
I am feeling fat, I must go on a super diet. Consisting of a lot of nothing. And Special K. I like special K, it fills you up. But then, I eat that and barely anything else and sitll Im 125. I want to be 109 agian Gandalf!
I am such a dork. Dude, everyone compliments my necklace. It was a good buy. Thanks Twin!
Speaking of Twin, I need Nicholas Tse's song Let me Die on a cd.
Speaking of Nicholas Tse, I need to be his wife.
Ah the dreams of a seventeen year old.
*dreams*
*in dream, there is Heath Ledger in a hot priest outfit from The Order, Nicholas Tse in a hot tight fitting black shirt, Ekin Cheng in his hot Fung gear, and a bunch of other hot guys*
Oh yes, the dreams of a seventeen year old.
Someday I will have to face the terrible reality that I am doomed to be with a white boy named Andrew Joseph Smith who comes from Alaska and is a huge DORK. But for now I can dream of my movie stars and various singers. Oh Keita, how our love will come crashing to an end, if ever AJ and I are to be. Woe is me! ALAS!
Well, I must sleep, its like, 1 oclock in the morning and I usually sleep at eight. Damm the karaoke! But not really, cause then it wouldnt be there for me to win hundreds of dollars off of.
OH MY LORD! I do sound like a teenager, dont I? How very sad. I must fix this. Maybe I am just tired!
K is hot cause he writes about computer nerd stuff in his journal and he has guts. And he finally found a game AFTER me. That makes me feel like I am a nerd again. HUZZAHHHHH. But I guess, really, that any 17 year old who graduated at 16 and is a computer genius and has a knitting blog to write about her apparel knitting is a huge nerd anyways... Hmm, I wonder why I was worried. Hahaha
GOODNIGHT :D

Im opening a knitting blog! With my Twin! Huzzah! I must post my latest pictures. Currently I am working on a beautiful hooded cardigan for my twin. I am making it out of a now deceased colour of terracotta, Lion Brand Wool-ease. I like the yarn, though it is somewhat annoying with four ply yarn to us my big knitting loom which I will now refer to as "Fung" and my smaller loom (Babes joy knitter) as "Wan". Fung likes two ply yarns. Jenny, my dog, likes any yarn that smells like an animal and when she gets around alpaca, she FREAKS. Seriously. So cute. I want to make kesi something of alpaca on Fung. Wan likes Homespun... I am making a new line of scarves he inspired. Everyone seems to like them, and I LOVE them.
Went to San Fransisco on Sunday, stayed overnight with WuChow, Pam and twin. Twin and I bought Storm Riders, 12 girls band CD, Onitsuka Chihiro CD and a bunch of food. We had fun. Yesterday we saw Cold Mountain, which sucked, but we got the new Josh Groban CD, which kicks more ass than... well... ... ... Yeah.
I need NuMei yarns for Fung. I want to experiment. I must finish Twin's coat first. Birds are currently singing to 12 girls band. Seriously, you'd think they'd heard the CD before... which they havent. I think they just like Chinese musics. Oppa is more into it than Jelopie. They are freaking out, maybe I have it too loud. :O
Uh oh.
^.^
Ill post some pics of Jenster laters. And mah current works.
