So today I tried...Pork? or was it Lamb? At first the person who was working with me thought it was pork. It looked like pork...people were saying it tasted like pork...so we said it was pork. Then people pointed out that it was called "Al Pastor" which apparently implied that when the meat was alive it lived in a pasture. So then we were like "oh....then it must be lamb". So for the last half of dinner we were telling people it was lamb. As you can guess, no one really wanted to eat it after that. So right before my shift ended, the girl who was working with me got me to try it. It tasted....eh.
So I get back from work and wikipedia this "Al Pastor" stuff. It's pork.
Either way I kinda had a moral problem eating whatever I ate. Although, I'm really really glad I didn't eat a sheep.
I also learned that people don't like trying new things even if it looks good. People even preferred me telling them I had no idea what the meat was over me telling them it was lamb. Maybe if I called it "sheep" it would have sounded better.
Helpful Advice for the Day: DO NOT google "eating lamb". It sounds harmless enough, but stupid google wants to show you what you can find on google images. I wanted to tell google "no...please no...I did not want to see what google images could offer me....why did you do that? I just wanted to know other people's opinion on eating lamb. Not....that."

Comforting
Alright...I suppose I should back up to Thursday.
Work. My first day of work. I never realized how much I truly hated beans...or the smell of beans. I really really hate that smell though. I even took a shower after work (I missed The Office for that...but it was a necessary sacrifice) and I still smelled beans on my arms. It was gross. I only have to serve from 5-7. During that time I burn my poor little fingers off because the taco shells are ridiculously hot...and so are the plates. BUT I also have to stay and clean up...which takes another hour. I dunno...I just felt all gross and dirty. I didn't like the clean up process. I didn't want to eat the cafeteria food that night either. I just went back to my dorm and ate there. Even pizza rolls seemed more like food to me. The guy I get to work with is pretty nice though.
Today...I went to target. I got some nifty little shoes that I can only wear if it stops raining. I also got a scarf to fit in with the cool kids.
So in choir today my director was trying to help the altos sing our part. (you know cuz we have the hard part and not just melody like the sopranos)
She walks up to my row to get closer to us and as she was walking past me she kinda just... took my music to use.
So I'm like "oh ok" and just looked on with my neighbor.
After she fixed our part she walked back up to the front...with my music still in her hand.
She tells us all to sing together so I'm like "oh ok" and continue to look on with my neighbor.
She then stops us abruptly and yells "Wait a minute! Why do some of you not have your music!!!???"
So I said "because you took mine". She's all like "What did I do?". So I spoke up a little louder and said "you took mine".
We all laughed and she exclaimed "I should be on some sort of ADD meds or something".
The End.
I'm starting to do things like pretend movie characters are my friends again. It's...probably not cool to be doing that...but it's comforting?

Creeping Tacos
Usually, I sit up in the 2nd floor, balcony type of thing in the cafeteria. It's easier to creep, I mean uh, people watch. Today I watched this one guy drink 7 drinks (2 OJ, 1 milk, 2 gatorade type things, 2 hot beverages of some sort). I don't know why this guy had 7 drinks. He had this itty bitty plate of food too. It was weird.
I got a job today. I'm going to be at the tortilla station making delicious burritos and tacos for all to enjoy. I have a theme song:
It's dinner on a thursday night... and you want a burriiiiitooooo. You're wondering where to get one...but you don't knoooowww. What will you do? Whoooo will you call?! AM! She's the taco-making maniac. AM! She makes tacos by the light of the mooooon....AM!
oh you thought I would reveal my name? How silly of you.
So yeah...I guess I start next thursday.
I learned something valuable in my textbook yesterday night. "War between Canada and the USA is unthinkable, perhaps not because of their liberal democratic constitutions, but because they are friends." Well thanks really expensive college textbook for that insight.
I got Craig Ferguson's autobiography two days ago. That book...has made me so happy. Seriously. Anybody who describes meeting Dick Cheney as: "I felt a little awkward; I'm always a bit shy around evil people"....gets laughs out of me.
I took a trip down to the wind turbine yesterday. I walked along the Cross Country 4K trail to do that. Needless to say I couldn't walk the entire 4K. Only walked about....1K. Oh fail. There was a squirrel who was really pissed off at me too. I don't know why. I didn't do anything to it. It was one of them "redhead" squirrels though. They have some sort of irish temper I guess.
Speaking of irish people, some irish dude came into my international relations class to talk to us about traveling to ireland. He was really awkward...but his accent was cool.
It rained all day today. It was nice to wake up to...but my pants got soaked walking around in it. Now I don't have any pants because I'm letting them dry. I'm wearing shorts. rrr.
Well I'm going to put away laundry and do homework and other boring stuff I guess. THEN I get to watch Little Miss Sunshine. I don't think you realize how long I've waited to finally see this movie.

Squirrel Cop

Listen to it.
Or you can not.
Anyway, today I was social. Hooray! I don't have a job though. Oh no! I tried getting a job as a telemarketer...though they claim it's not. The jobs were all taken though. :-(I can get a job as an assistant to the environmental studies department....yep.I can't save the earth by typing in data...but I guess it's a start.
I went to a GLOW (Gay Lesbian Or Whatever)meeting today. No, I am not gay, lesbian, or whatever. I'm a supporter....and supporters are allowed in the club too. Plus it's a way to be social without worrying about creeper guys stalking you. I guess...it might be girls now who might want to stalk me. Eh...I'll take it as a compliment. It was a lot of fun though. Fun people.
Alright. This is what I'm going to talk about today though:
http://shelleytherepublican.com/2006/04/27/harry-potter-the-hogwarts-express-to-hell.aspx
Oh. My. God.
I don't care if this has been going on since the books first came out. It is still entertaining for me to read stuff like this. The first paragraph just kills me.
Oh yes, children yearn to be good and learn about the wonders of God's glory. Where do they go? The library...which is supposed to be safe and good and full of christian-approved books. Then those damn librarians have to come and expose our children to satan!!!! And to think...they stock those books right next to the beloved Narnia books! The horror of it all!
The little anecdote provided by some kid in Atlanta? Yeah I didn't understand that either. It seems like they left out a few sentences. I didn't understand the connection of witchcraft and depression. "I like the books. Therefore I wanted to see if the spells worked because I'm a kid and I do stuff like that. Then I got depressed for some reason in 7th grade. I mean...no one is depressed at that age!"
Then it goes on to mention that Harry doesn't pray to God when he tries to defeat Voldemort and stuff and that God isn't mentioned at all. Oh no! There's a lot of books that don't mention God. Clifford...Arthur...you know...supposedly kid friendly books. So one could say also that...these lovable books are actually books that are evil and written by satan. I mean come on...there's got to be some witchcraft behind Clifford's enormous size and the fact that Arthur is a talking aardvark.
I don't know what this CAP alert that she mentions is...but I'll be sure to look it up.
blah blah blah it ends with god Bless America.
Fun Fact:
books that have been banned in various places in the USA:
Grapes of Wrath
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Catcher In the Rye
To Kill a Mockingbird
...pretty much a great majority of the books we had to read in High School have been banned in other places.
Also surprisingly, "Julie of the Wolves" is a challenged book. Which, I honestly don't understand at all.
