Hope

Haven't blogged in forever I know. I've been so busy, I feel like I haven't been able to stop and take a breath in weeks.

We've had a new addition to the family, her name is Hope.

She's a very nervous piggy but I love her. :]

My sister is also going to be bringing home a hamster soon, I'm really hoping that she picks a chinese dwarf. They're so damn cute. Either that or a gerbil. :]

And also, finally, I will be getting my new camera very soon. The Nikon D5000 so I can finally take real pictures without borrowing Amber's camera, haha.

New Camera New Job

Gosh I suck at blogging!

But, I finally decided on a camera. I decided to buy the Nikon D5000.

Yeah, I know. It's awesome. It has everything I want/need. And I'm also working on setting up a little makeshift photo studio in my basement so I can finally have a decent space to shoot photos indoors. I'm very excited...now all I need is about $800

First day of work today, it was okay, but I can't help but have a sense of impending doom...

Facebook Status/Rage

My day did not start out well. It all began with an innocent status update on facebook where I said that I was practicing counting money with my friend.

My friend's mom friend seems to think that every status that everyone posts is an opportunity for her to cause drama and be mean.

She commented and said "My kids are doing that in the 1st grade".

Am I the only one that thinks that's super bitchy? For all she knows I could have a learning disability and she's making fun of me like a total ass.

So I commented back and basically told her that I'm not required to put up with her BS and I'm not going to.

So she sends me a lovely message:

Maegan
1st let me start by saying DONT post something on a WORLD wide, PUBLIC site that you dont want others to comment on.
2nd your right you dont have to put up with my BULLSHIT as u say. But I will assure you I wont put up with YOURS. I didnt not attack you, I didnt not swear at YOU. I commented on a PUBLIC post. You might talk to your MOMMA that way but in the REAL world the world of germs NO ONE including ME will put up with it. Act like an ADULT not like a teeny booper, from the getto. If u have something to say and swear or attack someone do it through private email or FB email. I have no idea how you took it but I ment NOTHING by it . And YOUR also right YOUR NOTHING, NOTHING at all like -----. Think next time YOU post on a PUBLIC WORLD WIDE site if its something YOU are willing to have others commment on and able to take what might be said.

Okay.
1. my facebook is not a world wide public webstite, 99 people can see my status updates.
2. the fact that you can see my status doesn't give you the right to attack me, or say whatever you want. that's a sorry ass excuse to be mean.
3. exactly what bullshit are you talking about? am i not allowed to stick up for myself?
4. yeah insult my mother. also very mature. and for the record: I don't talk to my "momma" that way because my mother is not a psycho serial bitch!
5. act like an adult? that literally makes me laugh out loud, this bitch acts like she's in middle school and drama is her oxygen. but i need to grow up. ever heard the expression people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?
6. why would i do anyone the courtesy of e-mailing them and not embarassing them when they can't do me the same courtesy?
7. why on earth should i have to put serious thought and consideration into a status about hanging out with my friend? it's not like I posted some controversial political comment or nude pictures of myself, wtf is there to think about? i was under the obviously silly assumption that people didn't post their random statuses with the expectation that people are going to abuse/attack or harass them!
8. i should be able to take what is said? that's a TWO WAY STREET. don't write checks your ass can't cash.
10. don't capitalize words you don't know how to spell.

Update on My Life

Forgive me for not posting for a few weeks, haven't really had anything of substance to say...school is getting boring, but it's almost over.

We painted our living room, I don't really know how to describe the color but it's gorgeous!

I also got a new job, at a pet store, which is exciting, I can't wait to work with the animals! I'm so excited. Now I can buy the things I want/need, a jumper box for my car, Christmas presents, and a new camera of course.

Cops and Sociolgy

Okay, every week I look forward to my Sociology class. But I usually end up with a headache from people's arguments giving me a headache. But seriously, this person in my class pisses me off every single week. This week he made it perfectly clear that he doesn't believe that anyone should be held accountable for anything they do or have to follow any rules. He kept talking about how all cops are ass holes and all the stupid reasons why he or someone he has known has gotten arrested. Guess what, they all got arrested for breaking the law, i.e. being intoxicated in public, carrying illegal drugs on them so on and so forth. Those rules are in place for your safety and for the safety of the people around you. I'm not denying that some cops are total dicks, but not all of them are, and when they arrest you for breaking the law they're not being ass holes, they're doing their job. If you don't want to get arrested then don't break the law, otherwise don't complain. That just shows what a juvenile view he has of the world, getting mad at the people enforcing the rules he was breaking.

New Laptop!!

I was thinking the other day about how I haven't had anything interesting to write about lately. Well...here's something. My parents just gave me a new laptop today, as an early Christmas present. I'm so excited!! It's so nice and I'm loving Windows 7. It was a really nice surprise.

Also I love it when people try to argue with me, and you use facts, I repeat FACTS, not opinions, to support your view point, and the other person insists that your facts are wrong or that they disagree. Like seriously? That's fine, the truth isn't contingent on you believing it. People give me headaches.

Friday

Yesterday was a really good day. I went to sociology first, and I gave my power point presentation on child abuse. It turned out really well, my teacher liked it and I got a 98% on it.

After that I took my animals for walks. I must say, you better not even think of taking Mr. Waggs for a walk and not Frito. You'll come home to a little 18 pound fat roll leaping eight feet into the air. Anyway, they really love their walks, I don't really see what's so entertaining about them but whatever floats their boats.

Then I went to go see "Couple's Retreat" with Nick. It was actually way better than I thought it would be, definitely worth while movie.

After the movie I went to a Whalers' hockey game with my family and Nate. About fifteen minutes into the game, Nate and I moved to the other side of the arena because these clueless guys behind us were banging their stupid thunder sticks together endlessly, right in my right ear. I really couldn't stand it anymore. So we moved and I got nachos and an ice cream and Nate got a beer and we shared the nachos. The Whalers won the game 7-1, so it was a pretty high scoring hockey game.

It was a very good Friday.   :]
