The first thing would be braces. Yes, my parents want 
            me to get braces, and I do, too, to some extent, I just don't like the 
            idea of going to work with them...
But first I'm going to have my 
            wisdom teeth pulled. My dad told me you can be put under if you 
            want, and it costs $50 more, and that my mom and Andrea both wanted 
            to be asleep when they pulled them. The didn't want to hear the 
            crunching and feel the pulling, even if they didn't feel any pain. 
            My dad didn't get put under, and Amy said she wouldn't want to, 
            either, and neither would I. I mean, if I had to have a finger 
            removed for some reason, as long as it didn't hurt much I'd sit 
            right there and watch them. Well, I suppose braces would be cool in 
            the end, I just don't want to have to wear them for a long time, 
            especially now that I'm out of school and working.
            I got this really cool DBZ music vid that goes to the song "It's 
            My Life" by Bon Jovi. It's a great song and the music vid has 
            some very nice footage.
            
Amanda came to me today at work and told me that she hadn't 
            forgotten to burn me a CD with all her favorite "Better Than Ezra" 
            songs (her favorite band), it's just the burning process had an 
            illegal error and she had to leave for work. She said that when she 
            put all the songs on, it came to exactly 80 minutes, which was the 
            CDs limit. Well, I guess I'll have to wait 3 days for when I go to 
            work next. I hope she doesn't expect me to be there tomorrow and 
            bring it, and I don't have her phone number, either, to tell her I 
            won't be there. Oh well.
            
I saw Elisabeth and her boyfriend, Clint, shopping. She's always 
            shopping at Wal-Mart with him. I asked Amanda why I never see her 
            shopping with her boyfriend, and she said 1) He lives in another 
            city, 2) they are taking a break from each other, and 3) she never 
            shops at this Wal-Mart on her days off because she feels like a 
            loser being here and not working. Lol, well, if she says so.
            
I saw Crystal there today. She and I have been talking more 
            often. We always saw each other around but never talked, then I broke 
            the ice, and she's a little crazy, but very fun to be around. She 
            reminds me a little of Tracy and Kelli put together, lol. She rides 
            the bus all the time since she doesn't even have a permit, and she 
            is 29 going on 15, lol. We've been talking about video games, since 
            she played "Grand Theft Auto 3" and got hooked on video games. Now 
            she wants the next in the series: "GTA Vice City". I told her about 
            the Final Fantasy games, 7 being my favorite, and she looked into 
            that and said she wants to play them, too, and will probably start at 
            FF7, since it is the first one on the PlayStation and she doesn't 
            have a Super Nintendo. It would be better if she did and she could 
            start on FF6 which is the first real character-based game of them. 
            But starting on FF7 is the best choice if you only have a 
            PlayStation. She heard that FF10 is the best so far, but I've heard 
            differently from Nick, Amy, and Joann, who have played all the Final 
            Fantasy games I have, and we all pretty much like FF7 the best, lol. 
            Sephiroth rules! So does Vincent. Well, on my lunch, she had to 
            clock out to catch the bus, so I offered to walk her out to the bus 
            stop, which is about 1/4 of a mile from the store. She is having 
            cigarette withdrawels she said, since she started smoking when she 
            was 23, and quit about 2-3 weeks ago. I wish I could go to her house 
            and get her started on FF7 when she gets it. That would be cool. She 
            hasn't played that kind of game before.
            
At my lunch time the carts weren't really in a condition for me 
            to be leaving them (Josh opened) so I hurried and filled them up 
            inside and was about to go on lunch when I got called to furniture 
            to bring an entertainment center out for a girl, but she started 
            looking at TVs so I stood there while she looked and then I heard 
            a voice behind me calling my name. It was Fred. He asked if there 
            was something I was supposed to be doing. I said I was waiting for 
            the customer to pick a TV and Mike said he would take them out for 
            her, so I was sent back to the parking lot. Well, while waiting for 
            the girl to decide, the carts went down to half full, so I figured I 
            should fill them up again before I go on lunch. Well, I did, and 
            when I was going back, Brian asked me how the carts looked. I said 
            they looked alright, but I'm going on lunch. He said, "At a quarter 
            to 9?" I said I had to take a late one because of how things turned 
            out. He said to make sure I take it at 8 if I come in at 4 
            (whatever, I'll just keep doing what I've been doing). So I clocked 
            out and Fred was back there and asked me if I clocked out for lunch. 
            I said I did and he's like, "Okaaaaaaay?" I told him I filled up the 
            carts and I better go to lunch before it gets any later. He accepted 
            that but said after lunch he wants me to do carts (okay, sure, you 
            mean like I've been doing?) After lunch I got more than half of the 
            parking lot cleaned up, and since I had stayed on top of it, there 
            wasn't a whole lot to do. I'm supposed to take a break after my 
            lunch, so I asked Fred when he preferred me to take it. He asked if 
            there were carts scattered all over the parking lot. I said there 
            weren't, just some on the right side. He said to go to break now, 
            but I should've already finished the parking lot, and I shouldn't 
            ever let it get like this in the first place (okay, I guess it 
            doesn't matter that I've been out there whenever I wasn't helping a 
            customer and doing carts the whole time, and even the people greeter 
            agreed with me that I've been on top of it). Oh well.
