So as you guys know from the previous post I've been dealing with some stupid stuff with work. Well my old manager, the one who got transferred to another store, texted me today and told me he talked to his bosses and that I start monday at his store. I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!! It came at a good time too because I was really depressed and frustrated all week and I was about to fight it out with the evil lesbian manager on Monday. Thanks for the prayers :)

So as you guys know I've been at Captain D's for a while now. But I walked in today to learn that my favorite managers were transferred to another store, and their place was taken by an annoying lesbian girl who's already reorganizing the restaurant the 'corporate way'. Needless to say I was not in a good mood today. I texted Ben, the former general manager, asking why he didn't tell me and telling him how horrible the new girl was, and he said he didn't even know about the switch till the last minute. Then he said he'd take me at Donelson, the store he's GM of now, if I wanted to come. It sounds like he really wants some of the people he was close to at Hendersonville to be there with him.
The only problems are that it's 28 minutes away, not 10, and it can be a little dangerous at night. But he says if I come he won't let me work nights, which would be great because I don't like working nights anyway. Another girl my age is planning on going, and I think I'll jump on the bandwagon. Please pray everything works out.

Thanksgiving was awesome. Actually left the house for once; we went up to West Virginia to see Tabs and a couple soon-to-be relatives. It was great---good food, fun (and hilarious) times, a little snow, Amish Country without (gasp!) cell service, and an enormous indoor/outdoor mall just over the border in Ohio (love).
Can't believe Christmas is nearly here. It occurs to me I need to buy some presents...
My classes are almost over too. I'm not used to them ending in December, but that is perfectly fine with me lol.
K that's about it.

Are you ever just really glad that you're you, not someone in the world? I've been around the Captain D's people long enough to realize that. I love my sheltered, Christian life, and I couldn't imagine changing. The stuff they do--clubbing, drinking, smoking, cussing, and some things I will not write here to save you from being marred for life---don't seem remotely fun to me. Is it possible for someone to be so far gone that they couldn't ever be brought back?
I think one of the main problems is the whole bible belt thing. They claim to be Christians---baptist, nazarine, etc.--but the way they act is far from it. I don't understand how the world could be that appealing. And these people really just love it. They revel in it. Why love something that doesn't even last?
What's funny is that I enjoy being different. Peer pressure doesn't work with me. I love being that 'freaky little Christian girl' (yes it has been said) who doesn't cuss or mess around with guys or, in their opinion, 'have any fun'. The only one who has a bible with her for break time. They don't understand how much fun it can be to go to a bible study with a bunch of friends and then Sonic and possibly have a sleepover afterwards. How you can be crazy with a bunch of delusional sleep-deprived teenagers and die laughing without even one drop of alcohol. How you can have a whole conversation without saying one f-word. How being with Christians leaves you feeling happy and fulfilled.
Do they notice that their 'fun' isn't fulfilling? Maybe it seems like it for a little while. Perhaps a day, maybe a whole week. But they don't know the depth of this kind of satisfaction. It doesn't leave you wondering what you did the night before, or throwing up the next morning, or with a bunch of kids with a bunch of different dads. Why live for today when you could live for forever?
Truth is, world, being a peculiar people is pretty hoppin' awesome. Get over it.

Life's been busy lately. Just turned eighteen last month, got my license, and got a car. I've been working at Captain D's for 6 months now--got a dinky little pen for it today lol--which is okay, except my co-workers cuss a lot and a few of them have jail records. Oh well, getting paid lol. Trying to get ready for college this fall. I'm doing it all online at Volstate. You guys probably haven't heard this much before but I actually don't really want to go. I suppose it might be useful in the future though lol.
Other than that nothing much has changed. Drawing a lot, writing a lot, playing a lot of guitar...yeah that's basically it.
