An introduction

Pride
I decided to make a post full of random facts about me so that people can get to know me a bit better. Here it is, this is who I am. If you don't like it then don't bother with me...





  • The name's Cassie and at the moment I reside in Australia.
  • I was born Jewish although I adhere to no religion.
  • I have lived in more places than I care to admit.
  • My self esteem is borderline non existent but I am slowly improving. Which leads to the next point...
  • Yes, I self harm and yes, I have an eating disorder. I am not proud of it but I am not ashamed of myself, not anymore. If you have a problem with this, wonderful, grow up, but don't bitch to me about it. You don't like it- I don't care...
  • I enjoy writing and am slowly working up the courage to post pieces that I have written.
  • I read most of the thing's posted on my friendlist but if I don't comment you back don't take it personally, I'm probably just busy.
  • What I post will mostly be me bitching and ranting and hopefully some pieces I have written. Nothing overly exciting.

So that's it...

If you aren't too terrified of what you have read go ahead and add me :D

Xander’s eyes were closed as he lay still on Angel’s rickety couch, smile on his lips as he remembered watching ‘Jaws’ with Willow and Jesse, Willow hiding her face in the pillows that lay strewn all over the floor and humming loudly as the gigantic great white emerged from pink tinged water. )

I really need some advice

  • Jan. 15th, 2010 at 1:23 PM
Brian stoned?

I’ve been hunting around Melbourne for a job in the hope that I’ll have the money in order to fulfil my dream of finding my own apartment and moving in by December of this year. I was interviewed by a sandwich shop named ‘Healthy Habits’ as I have no preferences regarding what job I will have, this being be my first actual job; the only other career I’ve had involved working at a large market for a day when I was 14 and earning $10 an hour (around $9 US dollars I think.)

I know that with my limited job experience it is highly unlikely that I will be able to find a decent, well paying job that I could balance with my Uni schedule.

I was told that I would spend 4 days observing the process of making the sandwiches and during these days I would not get paid. Following this I would be trained how to make the food and serve customers which usually lasts around 2 weeks and during which time I would be paid minimum wage. I agreed and so from Friday to Monday I worked from 8-11 hours a day, with some shifts starting at 7.30am, for no pay. Despite it being called observation I served numerous customers during this time, cleaned the shop and made sandwiches to the constant criticism of one of the managers.

Making the sandwiches themselves in straightforward, however, this shop is so ridiculously stingy that I was yelled at for placing 4 slices of tomato onto a sandwich instead of the allocated 3 and for asking the customers whether they want ‘Any drinks with that?’ instead of the open-ended question ‘What drinks would you like with that?’ as well as a number of other minute mistakes.

On Monday I was told that the other guy in training and I would be interviewed by the boss who would decide whether we had performed well enough to be hired. This would be happening on Wednesday, when I would again have to show up at 7.30am and work, despite this not being mentioned during my interview. I worked 8 hours on Wednesday, my 5th day without being paid, and had a conversation with the boss who I managed to impress but who was so ridiculously unprofessional  it made me grind my teeth. He randomly tells me that he is in a gay relationship which really just bugged me. Not the fact that he is gay, because lord knows I’m in no way homophobic, but unless he’s fucking me why should I care about his sexuality? I didn’t find it necessary to tell him I was bisexual so why did he consider it remotely professional to tell me about his love life??

Lol anyway...

He also asked me how much I expected to get paid, which is a ridiculous question given that he knows this is my first job and I, being the dim-witted child that I am, told him I would work for practically minimum wage.

At the end of the day one of the managers tells me that we haven’t improved fast enough for her liking, it being the end of my 5th day and all, and that her and the other manager would talk to the boss and tell me whether I got the job by the start of next week. However, they had spent the entire day interviewing others for the positions available.

I know that I they liked me better than the other guy I was in training with so I will most likely be hired. I checked my mobile just now and I have 3 missed calls from the shop.

So finally to get to my question, should I agree to work for this place, considering that I will not be paid well and have thus far been fairly miserable? I know that them not paying us for working is extortion, however, minimum wage is better than no pay. My friends can tell how miserable I am, especially waking up at 5.50am when I have problems falling asleep is making me completely exhausted, and are urging me to quit, citing that my first job should be in a place where I am happy and can work for at least a year before quitting.

I just don’t know what I should do? Should I call them back and tell them that I don’t want to take their position, and in that case what should I say? Or should I take the job knowing that I’m going to remain unhappy? I do need money and I’m not sure I can actually get a better job.

Help, please?
 
EDIT- Or am I just being a whiny brat? Maybe I just don't know what to expect from a job.

What Rodney and he shared had always felt natural to John. From the get go wrapping his arms around Rodney’s body, pulling the other man in for a kiss and curling under the blanket and tangling his body with Rodney’s seemed as natural as breathing. )

Squee

I need to be slapped for being stubborn. Really and truly. So many people on my f-list have been squeeing about Adam Lambert for months now. I listened to one of his songs briefly at the time, didn't like him and didn't really think of him since. A few days ago I was on Youtube and I listened to 'For your Entertainment'.

WOW!

I have no words! His expressions, his dancing and singing, because the song itself really is quite excellent, are all fantastic. I admit I'm not a particular fan of his voice when performing live but the songs from his album as well as his music videos make me squeee. And just watching him strut uring concerts is awesome!

Next time someone like him comes up I want to be slapped until I follow your recommendations. Because jesus I've been missing a lot by being stubborn.

Some favourites under the cut. Please feel free to recommend me anything because gah!! He's just awesome!

Author’s note- So who remembers this story? I appear to have recaptured my muse and whilst writing this chapter felt a little like giving birth I think it turned out better than I could have hoped for given the fact that I haven't seemed to be capable of writing lately at all. I'm sorry this chapter doesn't seem like it's going anywhere, I promise to have action in the next chapter. *crosses fingers*

Xander rummaged through Angel’s bookshelf, occasionally selecting a book, glancing it over and putting it back in its place with a shudder of disgust.  )

Question on pronunciation

  • Dec. 29th, 2009 at 3:20 PM
Pride
How would you go about pronouncing Ares? As in the god of war from Greek mythology. My friends tell me it's pronounced like 'Aries' but that doesn't seem right to me.

The reason for this question is that I've always wanted an Irish Wolfhound, however, we have no space for it at home and I can't see a forseeable future where I will have enough money to by a place with a backyard big enough to fit a dog of that size. Anyway if I did that would definatly be what I would be calling it. I adore dogs though, I've always wanted one. I mean, how adorable is this:

Eyes Wide Shut

Thoughts? Opinions?

I saw it a few days ago and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of it. According to a friend the film highlights the importance of family values, Bill rediscovering his passion for his wife and his love for his wife and daughter.

What did you all think the film was stressing? Did you like it or hate it? Personally I didn't particularly like it, it was a bit to 'day in the life' for me, but I was wondering just what it was that made the film so famous. Besides its uniqueness.

Now Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange' on the other hand, I believe to be an extraordinary film.

Very quick update on my life

Ooh dear, I should I have remembered that Clarityn makes me feel quite high. My hayfever is acting up and sniffling and running eyes is not a good look on me. I have no idea how I'm going to study today because I'm really dizzy because of it. *sniffles*

My exams start this Thursday. O___o *hyperventilates* I have Literature and Psychology on the Thursday, Mathematics on the Friday and Monday and History and Politics an hour apart next Thursday. I'm done in a week though and then I graduate on the 18th of November. Words cannot describe the excitment.

I'll start writing after I sober up following graduation. So if anyone remembers that once upon a time I used to write and is still waiting on me to continue I promise I'll start posting again soon.

And what would any post be without Brian Kinney Gale Harold. Two of my favourite pictures of him, both too pretty to place under a cut.

Destino

Pride
'Destino' is a collaboration between Walt Disney and Salvador Dali and its production began in 1945. Walt Disney described it as a "simple love story, where boy meets girl" however it's so incredibly beautiful, not surprising given its creators, that is much more than that. It was finally completed and released in 2003.
