I am a work horse.
So yes I'm alive, just working alllllll the time so I don't have time to talk to you people I am very very busy. This week I'm working 60 hours. I haven't worked this much since I was a slave to JUMP. Remember JUMP? Ohhh, I'm old.
They even tried to get me in there today, on my day off, they called twice offering two different shifts I could do, as if giving me options would make working seem more appealing. "Ooo, you'd give me a 11am-7pm OR a 6pm-2am? Thank you, I'm so excited about choosing when to work on my weekend" Also, a glass exploded in my hand yesterday and I bled profusely while my friend looked for bandages for so long, and the poor girl almost fainted at the sight of so much blood. I'm usually OK with that sort of stuff, but I felt light-headed afterwards, I think I just lost more blood than I thought. And I continued to work with a giant bandage on my thumb that is actually an eye patch because they never did find any gauze. The good thing was that customers took pity on me and I made about $10 in tips in 45 minutes, when I usually make no tips.
Jenna is in Barcelona. I hate Jenna. Although, I am going to Croatia, Turkey and Greece for August and September without her, so she can feel free to hate me then.

Hello Sunshine
I am employed!!
The funny thing is, I was never technically unemployed because I never technically quit. I just haven't shown up for the past few days, and no one is ever in the office so my calls have gone unanswered. And no one has bothered to call me back. That place was awesome.
But I am now working at a way better place for more pay, more and better hours and it's right down the street from my apartment. I am stupidly happy today. And it's another sunny one, so everyone watch out I'm perky.
Here are some pictures from my trip to Bristol, Woodbury and Cornwall...

Updates:
1) I'm quitting the nightclub job. Actually, I've pretty much already quit because I didn't show up for work the other day. They are the most disorganized people I've ever worked for, and they treat me and their customers like chopped liver. I already have two job interviews lined up this week, so I'm sure I'll recover from this loss... I wore my success dress yesterday when I was handing out resumes. I attribute my luck to that. Good things always happen to me in the success dress.
2) I just returned from a lovely mini-holiday down in the South of England. I stayed with my second cousins, and my first cousins from Canada also happened to be visiting. It was so nice to be around family for awhile and to see familiar faces. Why doesn't anyone else come to visit me? You jerks.
3) The weather has been improving and it seems like it's happened very suddenly. The sun is shining, there are no clouds today and the days keep getting longer and longer. The only downside is that Scottish men like to walk around on the streets with their shirts tucked into their back pockets, as if taking off their shirt is no biggy. They are skinny and very white, and it's not a pretty sight... It's not that warm, guys.

Jenna's big bro is here! This means we get to be tourists again. Living here we tend to feel too much like we live here and we don't actually get out and see the sights. We took a tour of the underground city that's been built over, we've seen the castle (again), we're hiking Aurthur's seat and doing the Camera Obscura tomorrow and Calton hill today. We're also going to tour around St. Andrew's on Sunday; Steve wants to see the golf course and I might go visit my cousin who goes to school there. Busy busy busy.

Happy Twenty-Fourth Jenna!
Jenna had a Scottish birthday on Thursday, Happy Birthday Jenna!!
We went to a Jazz bar and listened to live music and drank too much, it was wonderful. We had about a dozen people crammed into our apartment and we ate and drank and sang and drank. Did I mention we got drunk?
An update on the mouse front: We killed one in a trap the other day, and Jenna proceeded to almost cry because we were now murderers. I, however, am ecstatic about the death of the dirty little mongrel. I thought the whole escapade was over, but that same night I saw another little mousy-face peek it's head out from a little hole in the wall and look at me like, "Hey, what's up? You live here? ME TOO!" I screamed and jumped on my bed like a little girl, because that's what I do, and now I can't sleep at night. And when I do sleep, mice haunt my dreams.
Anyways, everything is still well. I am looking forward to seeing my cousins soon and for the weather to get warmer. I hope you're all well, and I'll soon be sending out postcards to those of you whose addresses I have. Miss you all!

This Blog Was Written for Emily L.
Look! I'm writing a blog, WEEEEE!!
The reason, Miss. Emily L., that I don't write every day is because I save up all the good stuff to tell everyone at the same time so my life seems more interesting. Now that I've blown my cover, here are the not very exciting updates since yesterday;
1) At work last night, I was at the swanky upstairs bar of the club opposed to the main bar, which is medium-exciting. It's called the White Room and, shockingly, everything is decorated in white. It looks pretty cool when the lights are dimmed, actually, but it's a bitch to clean after all the drunk people leave. The owner of the club was there that night to party too, so we (and by "we" I mean "not me") gave him the VIP treatment including champagne for his daughters 23rd birthday. There were also at least 3 fights right in front of the bar, and one girl peed on my manager. Also, one guy stopped by to order a drink as he had two bouncers pulling him out of the club for punching a girl in the face. Have I mentioned how classy drunk people are, lately? I LOVE YOU DRUNK PEOPLE!!
2) I'm booking a flight to see my family in Exeter at the end of the month, thank the good lord. I need a vacation from my vacation.
3) I haven't seen much of Jenna lately... ask her why.
4) Em, what I mean by "cheating" is that, if I came home, what would be the point of having left in the first place? I'd just have to leave all over again, and it was hard enough the first time. Although, the alternative is seeing your gorgeous face again... My life is so hard.
