Will I ever get to where I’m going? If I do will I know that I am there?

Well I never did write those Elders, and I still need to, but I just don’t know what to write.. One of them I’m not really close to but I care deeply about (does that make sense?) and I lost the letter from the other one.. And don’t know what to write.. Anyways, Last night I got word from my mom that my entire family thinks I am foolish for buying The Car So I’ve spent most of today researching why I’m right hehehe.. So I think I have a pretty convincing case to present. Aside from that, today I just worked and ate and am now getting ready for bed.. Oh my exciting life. Irwin isn’t as annoying as his first impression led on to be, but I don’t trust him at all and am pretty sure he is a Mole.. Like Lauren.. I’m glad she’s dead. (if you don’t watch alias, you don’t get that..) Anyways, Obviously he’s not the kind of mole that helps terrorist organizations, but I’m pretty sure he keeps going to the owners and telling on us about Every little thing we do differently and why he thinks we are wrong. Aside from his mole-ishness, he isn’t so bad. He isn’t talking about his divorce so excessively, but I’m pretty sure he is a compulsive liar. He is a lot like Jeeves.. Oh good ol’ jeeves. So far this guy has been in movies, a professional photographer, a snowboarder, a video game designer and an asst manager at the ups store in Hollywood. While his stories are obviously made up, they are entertaining to listen to. Ooh I have a job interview tomorrow, its at this place called the Recruiting center or something like that.. I am just going in without any hopes of success.. I am so frustrated with the job search, I feel like I will never leave the store..even though part of me doesn’t mind.. hmmm… So the songs of the week are : Incubus-Nowhere Fast and Everclear-Normal Like you, I usually don’t really like everclear but for some reason this week, I have really liked So Much for the Afterglow.. Its a decent CD. Hmm speaking of music, does anybody have any Beck CDs? I can’t decide if I like him enough to buy a CD, but I am interested to get to know him… hehe. So its the oscars or something this weekend. That’s HUGE news.. Oh and there was an earthquake in Iran. But THE OSCARS ARE COMING. I was watching the news the other night and they spent like five minutes talking about the oscars, and then another 5 talking about the weather in California- then they briefly mentioned the earthquake in Iran, like it was a tremor or something. I don’t know, it just bugged me. It frustrates me that people don’t realize that just because a country’s leader makes a certain choice it doesn’t mean that the entire nation as a whole is bad.. Grrr it just pisses me off. Well anyways, I had better go to bed so I can be interviewtastic tomorrow.. Have a good’un

You are Neurotic and Depressed That doesn’t mean that you are sad

Once again I really have nothing to type about today.. But oh well. I decided I needed to take a break from playing COLLAPSE! On msn games.. Its addicting..I played it like five times in a row, but I can’t ever beat level eight. Maybe tomorrow? I want to be a five star player.. Well I didn’t get to learn how to drive a clutch today, but maybe later this week, Unfortunately my friend was caught up at dinner. While I was disappointed that I couldn’t learn, I was relieved because I am terrified of breaking his car… So instead of facing my fear I have just put it off for another couple days.. Nothing else is going on.. I have been reminiscing excessively lately. I think its due to multiple things though… I ripped all of my cds, its an old friends birthday, I’ve written a couple missionaries, and I’m still thinking about leaving the good ol’ UPS Store.. I’ve been thinking about how much I miss about those times and how I kind of wish I could go back.. But then I think even more, and I think about how I wanted to be out of that phase of life so badly. While I was there, I always wanted to escape the superficiality of high school, now here I am graduated for almost two years and I miss it.. So I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to mellow out and enjoy things while they are here. I really don’t want to be one of those people who go through life thinking “If only I had done this” or one of those people who are freakishly obsessed with people in their past. But at the same time, I want to learn from my past and remember those who were//are close to me in my life. I also want to work on being more secure with myself and having more control in my life. I feel like all I do is sit back and watch everything happen to me. I mean, I don’t really even have any hobbies, I have Photography and that’s about it. I am a photographer who ships stuff. I dunno, I just wanna do more with my life than what I am doing with it currently. I’m not depressed or anything, I just have this huge feeling of Carpe Diem. I want to get away from the store and move on and meet new people, I want to start at the U and learn tons of new stuff. I want to see the world and take its picture. I want to get something meaningful out of everyday, I want to see the beauty in everything. I just feel like all I ever do anymore is work sleep and watch movies.. And while I like the three, They grow old after awhile. I feel like I am in a rut, and I feel really blocked artistically, which is ironic because I haven’t been shooting like I should. I think I could be feeling this way because I am not taking any classes, so I am not being as mentally stimulated as I usually am.. I dunno.. well I am going to go write a few elders and go to sleep.. But thanks for listening to me blab on and on~Have a good’un

Hey buddee

Well I went to the woodworking place interview and man, that was psycho. I walked into the building and there were American flags hanging from the ceiling and the obnoxious sounds of Sean Hannity were present as well.. Needless to say, I didn’t try very hard to get that particular job.. If I get it for some reason, I will not be taking it.. Aside from that I haven’t been very successful in my search for a new position. I am pretty sure I am going to purchase The Car. Tomorrow my friend is going to teach me how to drive a clutch and I AM SO SCARED!! Hopefully I wont break his car.. If I do I will feel really bad..Oh my gosh work is so boring today.. I have to stay here for another 55 minutes and I feel as if seven o’clock will never come. I did not want to work today, I hate having to work on days that other people have off. As a UPS Store employee, I think that we should honor our founding fathers, and take the day off and just screw around.. Or sleep… Last night My cousin came over and we played Mario until 2:00 AM, I didn’t go to sleep until fourish.. I am sleepy now because of it.. This blog is really sporadic. Well kids, I had better get back to work, I hope all is well in your world!

HUGGA BUNCH!!

I don’t really know what to post today but I feel as if I should.. Perhaps I will just babble on incoherently about absolutely nothing and see what comes out of it (as if that’s not what I do every day..) So Tuesday was Miss Sarah’s last day at The UPS Store and now we have a new worker.. Code name Irwin (compliments of Jen) Irwin is just as bad as Jeeves, If not 10 times worse. He used to work at a store in Hollywood and is constantly telling me about his encounters with celebrities… such as Jodi Foster, Johnny Depp, and Cortney Love (although when he was telling the story about Courtney, he called her Courtney Cox a few times) When he isn’t talking about his encounters, he tells me and my customers and EVERYBODY ELSE about his two timing wife and how he is getting divorced and how he is going to get custody of his kids…AHHHH I DONT LIKE HIM… He also tells me how to run my store, and how in HOLLYWOOD they did things this way, and IN HOLLYWOOD they had five million UPS trucks picking up from his store every day.. OH MY GOSH I DON’T LIKE HIM. I am sorry that all I ever talk about is work.. I really don’t want to be one of those people who is defined by their work, and I truly fear that that is how I am turning out. I am still searching for a new job, but I find the whole process really frustrating. I have been interviewed like five times, but nothing ever comes of it. I have an interview tomorrow morning at some wood working place but I don’t really want that job.. I mean.. A woodworking place? I dunno, Maybe it will be cool, but I doubt it. Grrrrr… Oooh well Dave Matthews is on Jay Leno, So I am gonna go watch it.. But you have a good’un!

Look at my pictures!

Look at my pretty pictures!! I found this super cool program called picasa2 and it has this cool ad in thing that allows me to put pictures on my blog.. Sure I could just learn the HTML code and what not and I realize that it’s not that hard, but I am just lazy and its fun playing with new programs. Many of you have probably already seen some of the images, but some of them are newer, they were my final project last semester. I would really appreciate it if you would let me know what you think. You can email me here ANYWAYS, sorry I haven’t been posting as often as I should, I have been kind of busy//sick for the last little bit. All hell has broken loose at The UPS Store and I am seriously looking for a new position. I could go into detail on what has happened, but its probably boring to everybody so lets just say, I am very short staffed and the owners aren’t listening to me at all. It’s just really frustrating. Searching for a new job is equally frustrating. I don’t want to take a pay cut, but most employers don’t think of a 20 year old college student as administrative//management material. I am also thinking about purchasing this car. ITS SO PRETTY. Aside from that, Nothing else is really going on in the world of Mallory, I am just totally engulfed in work right now… Its so boring.. Ooooh I saw Hotel Rwanda on Friday night, It was really depressing, but really good. It was about a man and his family’s trials though a civil war ( I guess that’s what you would call it?) between the Hutus and the Tutsis. I don’t really know what to say about it.. But I’d highly recommend it. I have seen a lot of movies lately, I also saw the critically acclaimed Sideways, IT WAS HORRIBLE.. LONG, BORING AND HORRIBLE.. DON’T GO AND SEE IT!! I don’t understand all the hype. It was just as dull as the trailer made it out to be… Its about 2 fourty somethings looking to get laid.. One of which is getting married the next week and the other who is a pathetic writer who is obsessed with wine.. IT WAS SO BORING. DON’T SEE IT… I’ve seen some other movies but at this moment in time I can’t recall what the were.. Oh well.. Well I better get going, but I hope you’re all doing well! Have a Good’un
