Could you check my pulse for me. To see if I'm alive.

So I lasted barley a month at Hobby Lobby. I thought I was getting the hang of the place & starting to make friends with 2 of my coworkers there. But I had the worst anxiety going in every day. Never felt that at a job before. And I got written up for one register mistake which I knew was my fault though I had no idea I did anything wrong at the time. But it felt like 3 of the managers didn't like me & had it out for me. So when I was about to get written up a 2nd time for supposedly not ringing up a feather worth $3.99 out of the dozens that a customer had bought & came to return, I voluntarily quit on the spot & told my manager off. She didn't care & had a coworker escort me out of the store.

The manager that had hired me had been cold since the day I had an interview with her. Out of me & 2 girls that were hired the same time, I lasted the longest and forced myself to resign. I heard my manager call a customer a bitch for accidentally bumping into her. And my manager also picked on us what we ate for lunch. Plus she said I couldn't do warehouse work as that was "guys only". Most of the people there are a bit crazy & as weird as it feels right now, I'm glad I quit.

Out of my 7 years of retail combined, this just surprises me. I ask myself "how did I fuck up so bad?" but as my brother put it, "Hell, even Taco Bell would treat you better" which I agree with. And Matthew hugged me & assured me they're just crazy & the only mistake I could make is how bad I drive in Grand Theft Auto 5. Kayla told me that Hobby Lobby is only good for getting Copic Markers at xD

At least I get paid a full check tomorrow.

So I'm back to applying places. Hot Topic, Old Navy & other places called while I had my job but I didn't return calls partially because the places that I did try to schedule interviews with, couldn't schedule me during my Hobby Lobby shifts. For a place I ended up quitting in the end. I called places back and they said they'll take another look at my application and call again. So here's hoping to that.

My brother Kevin walked into my room & mentioned he felt bad. That I came out here & all I'm doing is sitting in my room, back on the laptop applying places & don't get to go out. I have gone out a couple times, but not too much is going on atm as everything I'm looking forward to is later in this month (Pokemon X, Halloween party, Zombie run, Matthews Bday) & November (Lots of movies, Thanksgiving).

I should have my car here around the end of this month. My parents sold the house and have to be out by October 15th. Apparently I found out 10 mins before being dropped off at the airport in August that my parents were planning to move out here but they were waiting on me to leave/make the first move.

It feels weird that now I can't just fly back to Stockton and visit everyone as easily with my parents moving as well.

And that makes me a little sad deep inside.

I just realized it will be 2 months officially together for me and Matthew on his Birthday October 28th.

:o I want a Pomsky!

♫ You're the darkest burning star, you're my perfect disease

So since I've moved to North Carolina, I've felt little to no stress and welcomed at my brother Kevin's house. I get fed well, Kevin lets me know when I need to do chores & communicates with me & is eager to set up internet access to my room. Alley and him don't mind me taking off for a weekend and treat me like an adult etc.


In the first 5 days of getting to NC, yes I did start a new relationship, but I trust Matthew and I couldn't be any happier. I remember my heart pounding as I went up the steps & down the hallway to greet him at the airport with Alley & Kevin. I remember how nervous I felt being around him the first night I was here and then eventually the first time he kissed me on my bed and all the butterflies I felt.

This last weekend, we went to Myrtle Beach and I was so happy to splash in the water on the beach and feel the sand and enjoyed spending it with him by my side ♡


On the 12th day of being here, I got hired at Gander Mountain (kinda like Bass Pro Shop) as part time apparel. Tomorrow I have an interview at Hobby Lobby. I'm willing to work 2 part time jobs as long as they can work around each other until I start school here.
After Hobby Lobby tomorrow, I wanna buy a poster board & start an art project. I also need to buy work clothes. I wonder when I'll start at Gander since I have to wait for the background check to clear from CA.

AND IM STILL LOOKING FOR POST CARDS!!! I didn't really get a chance to look at Myrtle Beach T__T but I forgot about it at the mall.

It sucks not having my car but according to my brother & parents, it will be here soon. Cause my parents plan to move out here as well.

Alley is cooking dinner right now and it smells AMAZING!
