You Are Not A Winner

I did have all the numbers! On 5 separate games! Oh! Well I knew I was a loser when it was announced that the 3 winning tickets where not sold in my state.

I guess it's back to being my poor self again! @o@

Lottery Fantasy

When my dad gets home he tells me he might have accidentally played the wrong lottery slip. I'm upset and confused. Didn't this happen as a tv show plot? I'm ruling out Martin, Hangin' With Mr. Cooper, and The Simpsons. I think it was a show with live people and not a cartoon.

At least my family didn't get lottery crazy and try to read a copy of "The Lottery" for lottery tips and ignore our sick dog. We don't have a dog.

Then I watched that 20/20 special on the lottery and fantasized about what I would buy. At the end of the show the numbers were read. I thought I had some of the winning numbers. I just hoped for the best.

September Free Day!

I got a free day! I haven't had one in months. I didn't do much. Slept in since I hadn't gotten much sleep in the past few days. I was going to work on some crafts, but I never got to. :(

My dad got a job! Maybe the good luck will rub off on me. Order was somewhat restored. He got a graveyard shift which reminded me of Everybody Hates Chris. Because that's what Julius the dad works.

I don't know why he got mad at me if I asked if he was a 1099er AKA independent contractor. Jobs that aren't 1099s are really hard to find.

Beckon some Cash!

I went to the mall to buy some shirts. I was upset that I was rushed. But I did get to go to the Japanese store.

I finally bought a Maneki Neko. I asked the worker about every single one, and what they meant. The guide on the display was on Japanese. I don't read Japanese that well. Here is what I wrote in my phone for notes, so I would know which one to buy. "Right paw gold or calico holding coin". The are so many different kinds they sort of remind me of Catholic saint statues. Black is good luck in general. Which is the opposite view of black cats in western culture. Green is for exams. I accidentally picked up the gold one which is for job promotion. The blue one is for good health. I wanted the one that beckons cash. I have wanted to get one of these for a while. Perhaps I'll buy more.

Does anybody know what the writing on the cat says?

Maneki Neko/Reunion Yet?

I want a lucky charm for my phone. I'm thinking about getting a maneki neko or a beckoning cat. I need all the help/luck I can get. Western stuff hasn't been working for me. (horseshoes, 4 leaf clover, and rabbit's foot) At first I was thinking a pig since pigs are lucky and that is my Chinese zodiac animal. Then I remembered pigs aren't so lucky to me.

Here is another blog I was planning on posting before the end of the year. Plus it ties in nicely into a pig zodiac reference.

Reunion Yet?

After thinking about that elementary school reunion in 2009 and that 2011 is nearing I thought somebody would have organized a reunion already; or at least made a page for it or something. Maybe I’m the one jumping the gun, and I don’t even want to go. Maybe somebody will set something up after the holidays. I have a strong feeling that the person who organized the elementary school reunion will organize this one. They are born under the sign of the pig, and pigs are good organizers. Check back for my end of the year thoughts blog and possibly a free day blog.

The Ground is Shakin' Under me! Shake Shake

Funny, I used a No Doubt lyric to title this blog.

I was in the zone and ended up writing a story for like 2 hours. The problem is that I get so wrapped up in my writing I sometimes forget what time it is.

I had to go to bed after I caught up on my reading for class. It wasn't that much to read anyway only a few pages. I was really tired and needed to go to sleep. I still hadn't adjusted to the time change. I was having this strange dream about somebody pulling a prank with meat by hiding it somewhere. Then I felt it. The funny thing was that I felt it at my feet first I want to say in a northerly direction, but I have no sense of direction. ;) :P it brought back memories of Northridge '94. Especially since it occurred at about 4AM. It wasn't as violent or long, but you know me once I feel shaking I immediately run outside or try to. I usually stop if the earthquake subsides mid flee. I figured since I'm the scared paranoid one nobody else in the house felt it. The funny thing was none of the tv channels were covering the quake, so I calmed my nerves by watching CLYDE instead. I don't really like that show, but watching tv usually calms me. Then it was covered by the local news about 15-20 minutes later. They said it was centered in Pico Rivera which would have been south to where I was sleeping. Well that's what my dad said. I'm not sure. I wondered if it was a blind thrust fault like the Whittier Narrows one was. Sorry if there are too many geological terms in this part.

You know I could really relate Gossip Girl yesterday. Especially the part when Serena realizes that her dad doesn't want her, so she stops looking for him.

Speaking of dads something ironic happened to mine at the Laker event. The 2 sports stars he wanted to meet he didn't get to. Why didn't he think of going early? Even I know that and I'm pretty stupid. But we'll just leave delusional super jock dad to his own devices.

Since the earthquake stole some sleep from me. I woke up late again. Well I figured I wouldn't be adjusted anyway earthquake or no earthquake. Which meant I had no time for a fun hairstyle. I was palnning on wearing either Shirley braids or odangos.

Later at school I gave somebody in class some extra Sanrio stuff I had. It was all duplicates. I'm trying to purge my collection. Sometimes it just feels so good to purge (belongings). I'm not talking about food here. I don't do that kind of stuff. If you saw me you wouldn't think I have an eating disorder. Ok possibly overeating, but I've never purged food. Anyway I gave them to that cat lady I mentioned before. I like her. During the previous class session we where talking about Hello Kitty and the Sanrio stores in general. Anyway today I give her some of my duplicate things. Then she kept telling a bunch of people in the class that I gave her stuff. It wasn't much just some pencils and a notebook. She talks a lot especially during class. The funny thing is that she wanted to know why I was reading this book. She said she didn't like it. Actually the only reason I'm reading it is because it's assigned reading. It gives me something to read on the bus. I can put a dent in the book on the bus.

The funny thing is that I heard "Everything to Everyone" by Everclear again today. Speaking of music I heard about Dave Grohl and the caffeine intake.

You know that earthquake was unlucky there were a lot of 4's in it. The magnitude was 4.4 and it occurred at 4:04 AM.

Annual Bad Luck Day?

Ok so I thought I saved a blog I wrote on my MP3 player before my hard drive died, but I realized the one I had saved isn't the one I was going to try and post.

So I'm writing this from memory. This is the blog I was suppose to post on the 3rd.

Facebook Anniversary

Ok so the 2nd of October was the 1 year anniversary of me having a facebook.

Well it's more like the 3rd since I created the page late in the day on the 2nd, and worked on it into the 3rd. I worked until Last Call with Carson Daly was on.

Last year I rode the emotional roller coaster that day. More like I rode it and I wasn't strapped in properly and fell out of the ride.

Well nobody from high school has found me on facebook yet. *shifty eyes*

I really hope the 3rd of October isn't my "bad luck day". I've had bad luck on this day 2 years in a row. I use to have good luck on this day. Perhaps I need to be cleaned spiritually to get rid of this?
