TEST

I finally got my results from my test for the case manager position--and I did not pass. I'm upset. Even though I tried my best, I still failed. With that failure I allowed myself to become very depressed and I could feel all of my progress that I have made thus far go right out the window. I constantly have to tell myself that this type of thinking isn't good for me and that there will be other opportunities in the future--even if I sometimes don't believe it. This year has been really hard on me both emotionally and physically. I've seen people who I thought were my friends turn their back on me. I've got to move forward--but just once, I'd like to be the one who passes the test.

My Birthday

36 as of today! The boys are taking me to Oil Can Harry's on Saturday for drinking and dancing! Yay!

H O U S E

I love horror movies, so I was pleasantly surprised when a new horror movie titled HOUSE came to Bakersfield. Knowing how fast horror movies last around here, I took Paul with me on Saturday afternoon to see it. Now, I knew it wasn't a remake of the 80's classic HOUSE--but I at least thought it would be at least a little scary since it was rated "R". It wasn't. It wasn't interesting, the acting was terrible, and we walked out without seeing the movie. As we left (you know I got my money back!), I told the manager what a dud the film was--and she told me that "..Christian films aren't for everyone!" and I was confused because I had no idea that house was considered to be a religious movie. I actually don't have too much of a problem with that. Homophobic Kirk Cameron wasn't in it and looking back on the film, the religious aspects were subtle. Still, the movie SUCKED!

GAY WORLD

I am so in love with AS THE WORLD TURNS !! Just to catch some of you up with the story--Noah ended the relationship with Luke because he discovered that Luke cheated in the race for student body president! Of course, Luke got drunk and was starting fights with everyone, until Brian (his grandmother's new husband) took him home to sober him up. While Luke was crying, Brian kissed Luke on the lips!

I LOVE THIS STUFF!

WALL*E

Tim bought WALL*E on DVD today. I thought I would have problems with liking WALL*E, but he quickly captures your heart. Although not my favorite Pixar movie, I really did like it.
