Riley's journals

best bra ever.

I am so excited that it's finally fall.

All I want to do is drink apple cider and carve pumpkins.

I finally got a job!  My first paycheck will be used in a shopping spree for cute, warm clothes and mittens.

All I want is someone who I can lay in bed with; someone who will hold me until I fall asleep and wake me up with a kiss on my nose.

Anybody that will talk with me for hours and hours about absolutely nothing and let me lay my head on their chest.

A person that will let me make them breakfast, then take a shower with me and help me rinse the shampoo out of my hair.

...who will think I'm beautiful just the way I am.

...who will call me beautiful when I feel ugly.

...pick on me in the nicest way possible.

...provide spontaneous backrubs. 

...let me win a wrestling match or pillow fight, but not by a landslide.

...won't ever do anything to intentionally hurt my feelings.

...make me laugh until my sides hurt and I can't breathe.

...pity laugh at my corny jokes even if they're not as funny.

...

Alright!  School is picking up and I'm getting used to the swing of things.

I still don't have a job yet. It is so irritating.

I did have a job at Steve and Barry's for two whole days and then called in because I was sick. The manager pretty much unofficially fired me. Today (three weeks later) she calls me and said that she cancelled my shift for tonight and to have a good day off. What the hell is that supposed to mean? 

I interviewed at Bath and Body Works and did not get that job. I'm in the process of interviewing for H&M. I had two phone interviews and then one face-to-face.  My next one is Tuesday. It's tough work even getting hired these days. Right now I'm waiting for my background check to clear so that they ask me even more questions. 

School is exciting though. In my figure illustration class we get to draw nude models which I have never done before. It's so hard!  The first day was terrible for me. I had no idea what I was doing. Now I am starting to improve and my drawings are turning out pretty nice.  All of my other classes are going smoothly too.

The other day while I was in class someone wrote me a note and left it on my windshield wiper.  I have a Barack Obama sign in my car window.  They left me this awful note declaring that I was a 'baby killer'. It was seriously disgusting. Apparently, he approved a plan that would allow babies that survived abortions to be dumped in trashcans. If the mother didn't want her child she could starve it and then dump it somewhere.  First of all, Nobody would ever want that to happen to any life.  Secondly, don't assume that I want babies to suffer and be tortured because I believe in having a choice.

There is so much to say about that. I would never hunt you down and call you anything so cruel just because I disagree with whoever you want to be the next President.  It's so uncalled for.

Tomorrow Obama and Biden are coming to Detroit to speak. Hopefully if you're in the area you will check it out. Even if you don't support him, I think it's so important to have an understanding for both candidates and their ideas.

Michael Phelps went 8/8. He is so dreamy..even if he is a little dorky.

I finally picked out my classes for school. I'm taking a color and design class, illustration, an intro arts class, and mythology.  Honestly, I am a little nervous because I haven't had to draw for a grade since high school.

Pretty soon I will have to do some job hunting.  I move back to school in a week and I still haven't called my old job to see when they want me back.  I really don't want to work there though. It's drama, drama, drama. Going to work makes me want to puke anyway...I don't want to deal with gossip on top of that. Yuccckkkk.

I am so into the Olympics right now!

The men's 4X100m swimming relay...made me scream, jump and yell at the tv. It was so crazy!

All day I have been slightly sick with a cold.  I have a stuffy nose in only one nostril and a sore throat. ew.

Laying around in pajamas was so good though.

Hopefully I don't get any worse and start to feel better.  We'll see in the morning though.

Worst case scenario: I will lay in bed and watch 8 more hours of the olympics. Don't hate.

I turned twenty today.

I have always been terrified of getting to this age for some reason.

Hopefully the cake, ice cream, and gifts will make me feel better.

I feel so intimidated when I fill out papers and forms for college.

Honestly, I just don't get it.  It's so overwhelming and tedious!

Sometimes I wish my family were wealthy and I was spoiled so my dad could just send me to college himself.

...But no, I moved out when I was still in high school and I never had money to go around when growing up.

I am struggling with how I'm going to pay back a community college. I would die to go to a really nice university.

I'm so frustrated right now!

Why can't be rich and just travel the world and wear fancy dresses everyday?

'Hi' to all the new girls (and girls that have been here for a while too).

My new set is up and I am so excited!  It's been too long.

Today I went to a carnival.  Which sabotaged my half-assed diet that I have been on for the past three days.

It's not my fault I love sick, nasty food.

Oh, and when I came home...I had pizza.

I finally got a new camera... thanks to that government stimulus check!

I shot a new DIY today.

You better get ready.
