My Odd Habit

At first I really couldn't think of an odd habit I had. I'm sure I have one that I do I just have never really paid attention because it is obviously a habit. So it is just something I do. As I sat here a little longer I would have to say that one that I thought about that is kind of weird considering that I am 18 years old and still do it is I check my closet before I get into bed. I'm not scared of the dark anymore, and I certainly know there are no such thing as monsters that hide in my closet. So why do I still do it? I'm not really sure. After my nightly routine of brushing my teeth, taking my contacts out, and washing my face, I turn on my fan. Turn the lights out and go to my closet, turn on that light, open the door and look, before hitting the lights out and getting into bed. I'm really not sure what I'm looking for or anything, I just do it and always have.

I Hate My Job

I work at a gas station right now on the weekends. I absolutely could not stand it for the rest of my life! For the most part I think I hate it because I'm a senior in high school and I have to work every Friday and Saturday night and don't get off until 9:30PM. But there are also some pretty rude people that take things out on you even if you did absolutely nothing! And I can't stand people like that. I understand that you may have had a rough day, but that is no reason to be rude. Like one time this lady came in and tried to buy cigarettes with her debit card, and it got declined the first time. There was a line behind her ready to check out and she made me try it again. Once again it got declined, and she yelled at me and said that it was our system that was down and that it was bull sh**! But then the guy behind her used his card and it ran through perfectly fine!! I was so angry! There is also really nothing to do at the gas station when there aren't people there to deal with. I just sit there, stock the cups, and cigarettes, and chew. I absolutely hate my job there and am probably going to quit when softball starts in a month. And I most definately cannot see myself ever doing that again!!

"Urban legends"

Have you ever been told that if you shave your hair it will grow back darker and thicker? I have always thought that because that is just what I heard and I just took it for what it was. I never questioned it. But now according to the website of snopes.com it says it is false. Now you and I both know!

Beloved Toy

My favorite toy when I was little was my doll. It was one of those "feel so real" baby dolls. I got her when I turned 2 and my parents really didn't understand that she was so heavy. So when they got it out of the box and handed it to me I could barely hold on to her. That is when she adopted the name Brick Baby, thanks to my dad! And that name stuck, I never named her anything else. But I loved it to death! The inside had like what felt like bones (plastic) and jelly-like stuff, with a tough rubber-like skin. She was all mine and I didn't have to share her with anyone. At this point in my life, my brother wasn't born yet, so my baby doll was my best friend (along with an imaginary friend, but that is a whole other story). I talked to her and, and put her to bed. All the things a little girl can do with a baby doll. One day one of the fingers ripped a little and the gooey, jelly-like, sticky from the inside started coming out. I had to wash her up and then I made a little cast for her. It was just paper towel and scotch tape, but it did the job. I would periodically change the cast when it got too much stuff on it. I felt like I was actually taking care of it and I wouldn't let my mom throw her away. After a while I obviously grew out of this baby doll stage, but she is still in my room to this day. She was my first and only toy that I have kept around so long, so she means a lot to me.
