For those of you who don't already know, there has been a strike scheduled for Friday, March 21st, 2008, during which we hope to have many members of LiveJournal provide LJ with absolutely no content for twenty-four hours. This means no posting and no commenting. If you post elsewhere and have it set up to be posted through a feed on LiveJournal, don't do it. Stay away from LiveJournal for twenty-four hours. That can't be too hard, can it? I know some of you are probably quite active on LiveJournal and will find it hard to stay away for an entire day, just as I will, but this is something that needs to be done, to show the people running LiveJournal that we're watching the changes they are making, that we're paying attention, that we're discontent, and that we want to be heard and taken in to consideration. We are not simply users who can be tossed to the side and ignored. We are the people who make up LiveJournal. Without us, without the content we create, without our words, our voices, our creativity, our participation, there would be no LiveJournal. This is a fact, and it needs to be realized and understood and then taken in to consideration when making decisions regarding the way that LiveJournal is run. The strike is only a few days away, so there isn't all too much time to prepare. While this is unfortunate, it isn't enough to keep this strike from taking place. It will take place, the second it is meant to, and it would be best to have as many people take part as possible. Please, spread the word. Spread it fast. There are only a few days to organize this. If you find that you care about LiveJournal or care about the people you interact with on LiveJournal or simply want it to remain a place where you can entertain yourself without constant censorship and money-hungry practices being thrown in without the consideration of those who use the service, act now. If you don't wish to spread the word, that is fine, but please: refrain from using LiveJournal on Friday, March 21st. Do something else for a change. It's for a good cause. (:

What's this about?
* It's about free and ad-free LiveJournal accounts being abolished for new members, ignoring the advice from the newly-formed Advisory Board.
* It's about LJ staff trying to sneak this decision in under the radar, and when people found out, telling the users it was done 'to make the signup process less confusing'.
* It's about LJ staff failing to apologize for trying to hide the facts from view and for lying about the actual reasons for their actions.
* And finally, it's about the latest decision to hide certain user interests from the list of Most Popular Interests, some of them being fanfiction, bisexuality, sex and depression. This decision was not announced or explained in any way. Users found out for themselves.

So, my job is REALLY pissing me off.
I was sent home early TWICE in a row now.
I worked 4 hours [out of 8] yesterday
and I worked 2.5 hours [out of 8] today!
They keep scheduleing WAY too many people!
I'm down from 36 hours to 26! I need the money!
The next time they try to send me home - I'm talking to a manager.
This is ridiculous.
I might loose my job over it - but I'm a good damn worker.
I work more then some of the team leaders there.
On another note though: I'm getting 'concession' training on thursday.
I got invited to a party today too. HAHA.
I love high school kids - they are so cute.
[sorry for all of you in high school still.. I love you!]
Well, so, I might go to a party this comming weekend - if I have time.
Anywho.
Yesterday I got off early and so I hung out with Justina Divine <3
and we went to walmart and barnes and noble.
I didn't get a new book - I'm so depressed. =o(
I need a new book!!! AAHHHH!!
I found like 10 books I wanted!
Then we went back to his house after we got some starbucks and had pizza.
Yes, coffee and pizza... so american.
Then we watched like 3 episodes of STAR TREK!
No shit! I watched Star Trek!
I got all into it.. I'm a fucking loser and I'm okay with that.
Then Amara text messages Justina Divine =op
and we went to her house..
For those of you who don't know her: she used to be my manager at hot topic [which, none of you would know her!] and she was my home girl whenever seth died and I haven't seen her in like 2 years.
Anyways, so we go there and had some alcohol..
not sure what - but it tasted like cough medicine - so I only had a few sips.
She predicted my future - she is pagan and she has psychic abilities..
She proved it to me.
I'm going to type up everything she said and I'll email it to anyone who wants it.
I don't want to paste it here because it is all about my love life. that had to do with marc reading my greatestjournal and shit.. so under the cut is the reading..
( predict me )
Anywho: it has helped me a LOT.
I'm doing MUCH BETTER about everything. =o)
I'm happy.. I'm doing things for me.. I'm living for myself.
It's scary but I'm so excited.
I'm growing up and growing to love myself.
...kinda...
I still miss Marc - and I'm sure there will always be a part of me that's like "what if?"
and I'll just have to deal with that.
I'm going to get a second job and move out.
I have no one to move out with.. but if any of you plan on comming to oklahoma - drop me a line. +laffs+
Anywho.... I'm going to get my velociraptor tattoo before that though..
+sigh+
Today I went to work - got sent home..
and then I watched two movies with my mom:
fever pitch - was cute, but it made me wish I found the perfect guy.
flightplan - was a really good movie.. too me; it was predictable - but it was put together well.
We ate nachos.. woooooow. +celebrate good times come on+
I work tomorrow from 11a-6p.. so yeah.
If they even THINK about sending me home early..
It's OVER.. I'm SO going CRAZY on these people.
I can't keep wasteing my gas to get out there to NOT WORK my whole shift!
I worked 2.5 hours! That's like 15$!!!!
I need the 8 hours.. which is like 40!
ARGH!!!!!!
It's not MY fault they don't know how to schedule people!
Maybe they should take a scheduleing class or some shit!
Anyways, I'm also going to talk to my school councelors? about grants to see if I can qualify.
That way I can get back to school - at least one or two classes each semester.. SOMETHING!!
Anyways, I'm going to go look for car parts now!!
