I got another scholarship from the music department, aside from pep band. Maybe I can stay at Mason! I haven’t heard about my financial aid yet because my dad won’t get his paperwork butttttttttt hopefully that will happen soon.

My friend Lawrence is hiring me to tech the sax and clarinet sections of Freedom’s marching band in August. This will be good money made right before school starts so I can buy Adobe Creative Suite!!!! And keep building up my portfolio =]

I saw Harry Potter at the midnight showing last night, very good. A little disappointing but I think it’s because I read the books and the book is always better.

I like my job a lot.

hearing about Michael Jackson. Since Friday, I don’t care about his drugs of choice, I don’t want to watch his music videos anymore, I don’t care about his siblings, and I REALLY don’t care about the sympathetic celebrity “tweets” (for the record, I tried Twitter for a month and it sucks).

I am a little upset about Billy Mays, though. No longer will I be harassed, lectured and yelled at to order cleaning products.

I didn’t even know who Furry Faucet was until MJ died, either. 

There only people who actually purchase puppies at Petland are white and rich. However, I’ve had some shady individuals come in the past couple of weeks who completely convince me that they’re going to buy one (filling up the basket with supplies, etc.), or who attempt and fail. Fake checks and all.

I’ve been meaning to put this up.

Here’s Rembrandt’s original

Here’s my replica

No one ever buys puppies during the week. I sold two tonight, both going to the same family – heck yes! Pomeranian and Shih-Poo. Too bad I don’t get paid commission.

2 hours of sleep last night. I’m hoping to catch up on the other 6 tonight. Come to Petland!

is very difficult to want to learn so much and accomplish so many things so badly, and to not be able to.

I went to the dentist for the first time in 2 years. It’s not my fault that I haven’t been able to go, my dad didn’t have insurance for me 2 years ago, then I got put on my stepmom’s insurance and they put me on a year’s probation because I had no proof of previous insurance. Who knew?

So I was diagnosed with my first cavity, and I have to get all 4 wisdom teeth out soon. I’m going to be looking forward to Fridays a whole lot.

Really? What if I don’t like them?

So suppose someone complains that they feel like no one likes them…frequently. Suppose that this person has a cell phone. Suppose that this person is well known for never answering or returning calls and texts from the friends they are trying to make. If you don’t reciprocate communication, can you really complain about feeling like people don’t like you? I don’t think so. On the other hand, maybe said person doesn’t like the people that are calling and texting. If this is the case, I wish I knew so I wouldn’t have wasted text messages. There’s a very small chance that this person is going to read this but in case they do, don’t waste money on a phone that you never pick up. Duh.

Rant over. I sold my first puppy today =] a 10 week old boxer for $930. If anyone is in the market for a small dog, we have a really cute Shi-Bichon on sale for $350 (originally over $1k). Nothing wrong with her, either. What a steal. I work 11-3 Saturday if you want to come play with adorable puppies!

I cleaned a fish tank with these in them

They’re all poisonous, btdubs. Stingrays don’t bother me, but the fact that they want me to clean the tanks with no gloves bothers me. The fish like to follow your hand, too, and their poisonous dorsal fins are always the closest to you. So I’m asking the fish manager, “Is it like a jellyfish sting?” Yes, but worse and you could die. Oh. I’ll stick with playing with puppies, k thanks bye.
