Phone calls Vs. Friendly people

People who call NET and don't know what they're doing can be super mean about it. There was a dude who was all, uh, wait, I must have the wrong number, and then he SLAMMED the phone down. And then I'm pretty sure he called back and hung up while I said good afternoon. Or, the lady who wanted to pay off her student loans, she was not happy that I was not the Department of Education's loan department.

People who come inside, however, are always really nice, even when I have to tell them that the meeting they're here for doesn't take place that day and they have to come back a different day. A guy came in asking if we sold a DVD of a special that was on, left his card, and left. He was so nice. A little hard of hearing, but nice. I'm getting ok at yelling nicely to old people.

The thing about NET is, if I type net it's the word net, but that's how it's spelled on the business cards and on television so it seems more correct. When I type NET I feel like I'm simply yelling about nets. I am not that passionate about nets.

So, about 250 employees here. Halfish are employed by UNL, the other half, the state. I'm state at the moment, but if it goes full time the job might be through UNL and I'd get an NCard again. yay.

I do not know everyone's name yet. I know some people's names really well, some people's faces really well, and for a few people I even can match those names and faces. Only one person do I know their extension by memory, but I have a cheat sheet and the ability to place people on hold while I figure out who the heck they want to talk to.

I realised I hadn't told anyone details about me at work, except maybe Christine? Because I talk to her during the day while we're both working hard and not being bored at all.

Abby, I'll never meet the people you know here, they are recluses. You can tell them to come introduce themselves, but they already got an email everyone got that said to come introduce themselves to me when I was new, and that didn't happen.

I'd volunteer to help you with your NET needs, but basically, if you come in I can say hi, and if you call I can direct your call somewhere else. I don't have much more power than that. I could change your name on the mailing list to Awesomesauce Mcgee I guess. Some of these names sound fake, but they're probably just fun names.

'Don't Forget Where You Belong' is written by Niall and I love it

Been a lot of places                              Cue tears
I've been all around the world
Seen a lot of faces
Never knowing where I was

On the horizon
Oh, well, I know, I know, I know
I know the sun will be rising
Back home                                            Cue more tears and a heart clutch

Living out of cases,    
Packing up and taking off
Made a lot of changes
But not forgetting who I was             THEY HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN WHO THEY WERE

On the horizon
Oh, well, I know, I know, I know,
I know the moon will be rising
Back home

Don't forget where you belong, home          They're just so great
Don't forget where you belong, home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own            AND IT'S JUST SO TOUCHING
And the proof is in this song

I've been away for ages
But I've got everything I need
I'm flicking through the pages
I've written in my memory

I feel like I'm dreaming
Oh, so I know, I know, I know,
I know that I'm never leaving                  thEY LOVE EACH OTHER
No, I won't go

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong, home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
And the proof is in this song

Lights off when they should be on                   I'm not currently in a place I can listen to the song, I'm doing this from memory, but I can't remember who sings this part and the lyrics site was not helpful enough to tell me, so I'm just going to say, I love when Niall sings, he starts the song right? It's so great because he wrote it and then he sings and it's like he's singing his soul and yes.
Even stars and skies above
Short days when the nights are long
When I think of the days I've gone
Don't matter how far I've gone
I'll always be around oh

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong (don't forget it), home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
Never, never

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong (don't forget it), home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own (you were never)
And the proof is in this song

Home
Don't forget it
Home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own (you were never)
And the proof is in this song

Never forget it
This song
Don't forget it!                              They really don't want you to forget it
No, I never forget it
This song
You were never

Aaaaaand, that's as coherent about this song as I get. It's so great.

'You & I' is supposed to be poetic

[Niall]

I figured it out           Niall doesn't often start songs, so I'm proud
I figured it out from black and white
Seconds and hours
Maybe they had to take some time

[Liam]

I know how it goes
I know how it goes from wrong and right
Silence and sound
Did they ever hold each other tight
Like us
Did they ever fight
Like us                     I don't know who 'they' is here, but yes, yes they did
[Harry]

You and I
We don't wanna be like them
We can make it till the end
Nothing can come between
You and I
Not even the gods above can       
Separate the two of us

 

 Ok, ok, which gods, cause if it's Greek gods, that's saying something because they are very good at separating people because they like to screw with mortals, but as far as I know other gods don't care about stuff like that, when's the last time Norse gods have split people up? What, Odin came to your house and was like YOU MUST NOT DATE, and then fell asleep on your sofa?

No nothing can come between
You and I
Oh, you and I

[Zayn]

I figured it out
Saw the mistakes of up and down
Meet in the middle
There's always room for common ground

[Louis and Zayn]             singing together like bros, I like it

I see what it's like
I see what it's like for day and night
Never together
Cause they see things in a different light
Like us
They never tried
Like us

[Harry]

You and I
We don't wanna be like them
We can make it till the end
Nothing can come between
You and I
Not even the gods above can
Separate the two of us

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
(Zayn)
'Cause You and I
(All)              warms my heart to hear them all singing together
We don't wanna be like them
We can make it till the end
Nothing can come between
You and I
Not even the gods above can
Separate the two of us
No nothing can come between
You and I
Oh, you and I
Ooooh You and I
We could make it if we try
Oh, you and I
You and I

I'm eh about the song anyway because it's slow, I have a thing against slow songs. They have to be really good for me to not dislike them. On top of that, who are we comparing You and I to, 'they' is not very specific and if we're not careful basically we're saying, our parents did everything wrong, and then it's a short skip and a hop to incest. I think I spend too much time on the internet.

'Midnight Memories' the song, not the album

1, 2, 3

Straight off the plane to a new hotel
Just touched down, you could never tell        yes, because you are so smooth, brag about it more
A big house party with a crowded kitchen
People talk shh but we don't listen

Tell me that I'm wrong but I do what I please
Way too many people in the Addison Lee
Now I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh, whoa

Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby you and me
Stumbling in the street                                 Drunk, is this a good example for your young fans
Singing, singing, singing, singing
Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, anywhere we go never say no
Just do it, do it, do it, do it

5 foot something with the skinny jeans
Don't look back, baby follow me
I don't know where I'm going but I'm finding my way     Me, when I'm driving
Same old shh but a different day

Tell me that I'm wrong but I do what I please
Way too many people in the Addison Lee
Now I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh, whoa

Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby you and me
Stumbling in the street
Singing, singing, singing, singing
Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, anywhere we go never say no
Just do it, do it, do it, do it

You and me and all our friends              Almost a date, except, all our friends
I don't care how much we spend

 

ALRIGHT, you guys need to hold yourself accountable for your nighttime spending. I know what it's like, nighttime Mary frequently wants to buy a collapsable tophat, but nighttime Mary knows that daytime Mary would appreciate it if we saved our money for things that are useful. The day that daytime Mary agrees that we need a collapsable tophat will be a good day indeed. The point is, you do care how much you spend, just not at midnight, so, fix your shit.

Baby, this is what the night is for,    I hear night is for sleeping, and now that I work, I concur.
I know nothing's making sense
For tonight let's just pretend
I don't wanna stop so give me more

Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby you and me
Stumbling in the street
Singing, singing, singing, singing
Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, anywhere we go never say no
Just do it, do it, do it, do it

 

Yeah I like it. Sure, it's a bad influence on all the young people that are going to be like, yeah, stay up and do crazy things at midnight because it's cooler than doing stuff during the day, but it's catchy. Not to mention, midnight, it's a time of day that I don't often miss.

'Diana' I don't hate it

Diana

 

The front pages are your pictures
They make you look so small
How could someone not miss you at all? (Oh-ah-oh)

I never would mistreat ya
I'm not a criminal
I speak a different language but I still hear your call             Is this for the fans around the world that don't speak English but are still in love with them? Because, it totally is.

 

Diana, let me be the one to
Light a fire inside those eyes
You've been lonely, you don't even know me
But I can feel you crying

 

Alright, tangent, is it just me or do they talk about crying a lot more than usual. Like, tears that fall like the rain that is British, is the worst example. And then whatever song it is that says you're so pretty when you cry.

Diana, let me be the one to
Lift your heart up and save your life         Bitch please, my life don't need saving
I don't think you even realize
Baby you'll be saving mine

Diana, it's only been four months but
You've fallen down so far
How could someone mislead you at all? (Oh ah oh)

I wanna reach out for you
I wanna break these walls
I speak a different language but I still hear you call

Diana, let me be the one to
Light a fire inside those eyes
You've been lonely, you don't even know me
But I can feel you crying
Diana, let me be the one to
Lift your heart up and save your life
I don't think you even realize
Baby you'll be saving mine

We all need something
This can't be over now
If I could hold ya
Swear I'd never put you down      That could get awkward.

Diana, let me be the one to
Light a fire inside those eyes
You've been lonely, you don't even know me
But I can feel you crying
Diana, let me be the one to
Lift your heart up and save your life
I don't think you even realize
Baby you'll be saving mine

(Oh ah oh) Diana
(Oh ah oh oh oh oh oh oh) Diana, baby you'd be saving mine
(Oh ah oh) Diana
(Oh ah oh oh oh oh oh oh) Diana, baby you'd be saving mine

Overall, I like the song. It's got the repetitiveness we all expect of course, but I like the way they sing the word Diana, so that's lucky for me.

Also, I've figured out I can use the computer here at work for things, so even though my phone is inexplicably down to 63% already at 10:00 AM, I can totally review some One Direction songs.

Why is the world

So, of course I follow Niall on Instagram, because it's solid gold, but this is the best example of how weird his life must be.

Obviously the best response to a normal, adorable photo. 

Meanwhile, Jupiter was super brilliant the other night AND CHRISTINE WOULDN'T EVEN GO OUTSIDE TO SEE IT. I made my mom come outside and she was all, it's pretty, also cold, and went back in. Sigh. Lucky didn't care either. 

Chwistmas and Pokemon

Happy post-Christmas everyone!

I've been busy with the Sister and parents and Pokemon, because I got Pokemon Y and it's very important that I defeat Team Flare and save Kalos and then CATCH'EM ALL.

I am not done with the 1D album posts, imagine that. I'll for sure finish them by August. For sure.

I fell asleep while at the Pinnacle Bank Arena for the Nebraska Women's Basketball game today. Multiple times I fell asleep. We were so far ahead, and I was so tired, and the noise just all blurs together at a certain point. I even commented on how it was "super exciting" randomly and then just fell back asleep. We left at half-time.

Why are Thor and Zeus both gods of lightening, but Zeus is the head god while Thor is Odin's son, hence his last name, Odinson. Like, Zeus' role basically belongs to Odin, and Hades is sort of like the Loki in that he is family that goes all jealous and evil, but Thor is not Poseidon, Thor is Zeus. What the hell Greeks and Norse people. Get your god trios straight. I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about Greek gods in different contexts.

Hey hey, I watched the Doctor Who Christmas right? I did that. Only teared up twice. I don't want to analyze it because I enjoyed it and I'm afraid that if I think about it too hard or read someone else's critique I won't like it as much. Things were tied up, things happened, Matt is a wonderful actor, ta da, episode enjoyed. I am wondering though, since things were all tied up, does that mean that we're not still wondering who gave Clara his number in the first place?

Nintendo asked me what level of video game expertise I possessed when registering my new 3DS, what does that even mean. I said intermediate because I watch all the games and play like, Pokemon and Mario. We hardly ever kill people in surgery anymore also, so I'd say I was intermediate at that game too.

Ok, happy Monday, I'll hopefully hear from everyone who is going to read this soon, because I miss y'all. If you're reading this in the far future and are like, huh, I haven't talked to her in over a day, do it. Not like, straight up calling me, but a reasonable communication method.

'Story of My Life' Commentary

Verse 1 - Harry
Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain, first I was like WHOA Harry, your voice is different, but then I realised I was just listening to Up All Night where he was a legit baby
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days. a little morose

[Liam]
She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones,
It seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone. They're such drama queens

Pre-chorus - Zayn
And I'll be gone gone tonight That VOICE ok
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I been holdin' on too tight
With nothing in between

Chorus - Harry
The story of my life I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time…
Is frozen (the story of, the story of) Love the chanting thing and the drums, gives a good feel

[All]
The story of my life I give her hope
I spend her love until she's broke inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

Verse 2 - Niall
Written on these walls are the colours that I can't change
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage

[Liam]
I know that in the morning now, I'll see us in the light upon a hill I know he means the girl, but I see this as him singing to Niall, seeing how they shared this verse
Although I am broken my heart is untamed stillx

Pre-chorus - Louis
And I'll be gone gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I been holdin' on so tight
With nothing in between

Chorus - Harry

I drive all night to keep her warm and time…
Is frozen (the story of, the story of) Also, go see Frozen, people, it's a good movie.

[All]

I spend her love until she's broke inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

Bridge - Zayn
And I been waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds What range this boy has.

Middle 8 - Niall
The story of my life I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time…
Is frozen

Chorus - All
The story of my life I give her hope (give her hope)
I spend her love until she's broke inside (until she's broke inside)
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

[Harry]
The story of my life

There's a much more funny song called Story of My Life in Shrek the Musical. It was on Broadway, Sutton Foster, it was great.

These posts are long with very little writing of my own. It's weird. Sorry for the long post of words you're mostly going to skim for the bold parts.

My verse of this song would be all, All alone again, oh yay friends, we're alone, story of my life. It doesn't quite fit with the song, but hey, I'm not in One Direction so I don't have to try all that hard with the song lyrics.

'Best Song Ever' Review-ish

 I guess we're starting with track one of Midnight Memories because those are the lyrics I looked up. I like how this site tells you who is singing what part. Very important. (My commentary is bold)

(Harry-)
Maybe it's the way she walked (ow!)
Straight into my heart and stole it
Through the doors and past the guards (ow!) I don't have guards for my heart... I'm such a pleb
Just like she already owned it

(Zayn-)
I said 'Can you give it back to me?'
She said 'Never in your wildest dreams!'

I've just got to say, I love Zayn's voice. Ok, go on.

(All-)
And we danced all night to the best song ever,
We knew every line, now I can't remember
How it goes but I know that I won't forget her bro, you wrote a song about her so you wouldn't forget her, doesn't mean your memory is better now, get that checked
'Cause we danced all night to the best song ever

I think it went oh, oh, oh,
I think it went yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think it goes, oh! question: is the song they were listening to about sex?

(Harry-)
Said her name was Georgia Rose,
And her daddy was a dentist
Said I had a dirty mouth (I got a dirty mouth) this part's great because in the video female Zayn is flirting with Harry and they have CHEMISTRY man
But she kissed me like she meant it.

(Niall-)
I said 'Can I take you home with me?'
She said 'Never in your wildest dreams!' I see where people say Niall's voice isn't the best in the group, but that said, I really like it here and other places and also Niall

(All-)
And we danced all night to the best song ever,
We knew every line, now I can't remember
How it goes but I know that I won't forget her'
'Cause we danced all night to the best song ever

I think it went oh, oh, oh,
I think it went yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think it goes, oh!

(Louis-)
You know, I know, you know I'll remember you
And I know, you know, I know you'll remember me This part reminds me of the Friends episode where they're all, they don't know we know that they know, etc

(Zayn-)
You know, I know, you know I'll remember you,
And I know, you know, I hope you'll remember how we danced

(All-)
Oh, oh, oh!

(Zayn-)
How we danced!

(Harry-)
1, 2, 1, 2, 3!

(All-)
How we danced all night to the best song ever
We knew every line, now I can't remember
How it goes but I know that I won't forget her
'Cause we danced (Zayn- We danced, we danced!) all night to the best song ever
(Zayn- I think it goes something like this!) Basically I'm just always so proud of Zayn when he's all, going rogue and sounding great

(All-)
And we danced all night to the best song ever,
We knew every line, now I can't remember
How it goes but I know that I won't forget her
'Cause we danced all night to the best song ever!

I think it went oh, oh, oh,
I think it went yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think it goes, oh!

(Zayn-)
Best song ever!
It was the best song ever
It was the best song ever
It was the best song ever.

 We all knew the song before the album, great video, not many new things to say about it really.

Hey I'm Analyzing an Old One Direction Song For Fun-ish Times

Baby I, I wanna know what you think when you're alone
Is it me yeah? Are you thinking of me yeah? Oh
We've been friends now for a while
Wanna know that when you smile
Is it me yeah? Are you thinking of me yeah? Oh oh

So far this song could basically be me talking to Christine, except I don't call her Baby. Also I don't usually go, I wanna know what you think, is it me? But tbh, I've many times gotten an email or hangout and been laughing to myself like a crazy person and then realised that people can see me in public and they probably think I'm texting my boyfriend. Ha ha ha. Joke's on them.

Girl what would you do?
Would you wanna stay if I were to sayThis part makes me think they are talking to the girl, right?
I wanna be last yeah
Baby let me be your, let me be your last first kiss
I wanna be first yeah
Wanna be the first to take it all the way like this This song is more creepy than songs were when we were younger, right?
And if you only knew I wanna be last yeah
Baby let me be your last, your last first kiss

Baby tell me what to change She's not breaking up with you bro, you're clearly friends.
I'm afraid you'll run away if I tell you
What I wanted to tell you yeah
Maybe I just gotta wait
But this part makes me go, oh, they're just brainstorming out loud to their bros, not actually talking to the girl, right?
Maybe this is a mistake
I'm a fool yeah, baby I'm just a fool yeah




So that's the song. Yeah, I'm basically procrastinating on this sleep thing. Sleeping. Psh.

Also procrastinating on everything else. All I did today basically was vacuum and go to a Christmas program. I also ate food I suppose, and did some dishes. I also played Pokemon because I'm a little bit obsessed. It's like, I'm unemployed still, better catch'em all.

Hey, remember the OctoDad song? You can sing Doctor WHOOOOOO, nobody suspects a thing, etc. So that's a fun way to continue to not sleep because a song is stuck in your head.

I may actually do a song by song commentary of Midnight Memories as soon as I get it, but, well, I plan things and then I go, eh, effort, I already wrote something else today can't write another thing. Writing is hard. It's like, if I could draw the ideas would come out clearer. That makes sense...

Waiting for a Phone Call

I just called a company back that called me yesterday and they were all, can we call you back in just a sec, and I was all, of course, but now I'm all, sitting here waiting for my phone to ring. That is the most stressful, probably even for people who aren't afraid of phones.

Of course only companies in Omaha call me back, no one in Lincoln has gotten back to me but this is the second Omaha company, and again, not sure if I actually want this job, just applied. That's how I ended up turning down the last one in Omaha. Most of the Lincoln ones actually looked good, this one is just something I know I can do but the posting doesn't even say the salary. I CAN'T MAKE DECISIONS WITHOUT BEING FULLY INFORMED.

Still waiting for the phone.

What do I normally do with my hands?

I feel abandoned by Christine

I've been sending her pictures and fun stories because I am delightful, but she hasn't responded in several days.

1. She could not have Internet because they are in Germany.
2. She might be sick and unable to form coherent things to say to me.
3. What if she hates me and/or is kidnapped never to be seen again.

We worry.

This time the we is not me, it's me and Molly and Teddy.

Living with the space invaders

Teddy and Molly

These puppies are all, we want to sit by you, no we want to sit on you, no you put your legs up right, and then we'll lay on them and feel like we're hanging in mid air, no you lay down in bed and then we'll slowly creepy towards you and push you off the bed basically.

They love me.

They look like Pokemon in that picture. I'm good with it, I've been playing a lot of Pokemon with them. We have two badges already.

They're taking turns watching me

Should I feel scared or watched over in like, a protective way?

I'm eating cookie dough

Living on the edge.

I'm puppy sitting

So far the puppies have sat on me one time each.

I just, why, life

I forgot to get up this morning. I don't mean I slept in or ignored my alarm, I mean I just forgot to get up and then it was 1 and my dad was home and he was all, 'did you get a good night's sleep?' and I was all, no, actually, last night was horrible. I heard him get up and treadmill it up and go to work and then I continued to not be able to sleep well.

I don't really want to go to the party tonight. I'm sure it'll be fun once we're there and I'm with friends, and it will be good to do something not depressing.

I applied to volunteer three different places, wait listed for one and haven't heard back from the other 2. It's a sad day when I'm worried about being accepted as a volunteer. Still unemployed.

Knitting complete

Finally finished my scarf made of things I like that I started last winter. Didn't work on it when it was hot because, summer, knitting, yarn, not great combination.

So, the things in the scarf include the One Ring, Lumpy Space Princess, sheep, some TARDIS', both Slytherin and Gryffindor's symbols, tumblr, Marvel's SHIELD, dinosaurs, elephants, giraffes, music and Batman. 

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW GOING DOWNTOWN FOR LIKE AN HOUR YESTERDAY MADE ME SUPER ANTISOCIAL AND EMOTIONALLY DRAINED TODAY. I can't  handle things. 

Also this post seems to be centered because of the picture but I post via my phone so I don't know how to fix it. 

I am a chef

I am in charge of dinner one day a week, cause see, living at home, stealing food from my parents, makes sense I have to help with some dinners. ANYWAY, I had no ideas for today so I made a recipe I found on Pinterest for braided garlic spaghetti bread. There's a bunch of cheese in there and it's great. 

So basically, winner winner garlic cheesy spaghetti bread dinner. 

Day Whatever

I forgot what day it was. Did I write yesterday? I could look on the front page of this blog, sure, but now I'm already writing so you're just going to have to deal with my confusion. Parents are coming home today anyway so it doesn't matter anymore.

I've been watching a lot of Dragnet and Animaniacs. Can't bring myself to start the new season of Perception or catch up on any of the current shows that I know I like, but Sgt. Friday and Officer Gannon are great and I want to watch this all the time. Would you believe, there's even an episode of Supernatural that I haven't seen?

I've been running around the house trying to make sure everything is done and nice for when my mom comes home. What's going to happen is I'm going to think everything is done and then she's going to ask an innocent question about something I was supposed to do but forgot about. I can see it now. Eh, I can blame everything on the fact they left me with a broken dishwasher full of dishes.

Ok ok ok, so, I have 2 NaNoWriMos started and abandoned because, hey, procrastinator, but I had a thought about one of them so I can improve and add to it, but seriously, I'll never be able to write a book in a month. November can suck it.

SHERLOCK GNOMES.

And by that I mean, 1 gnomes, and 2 the trailer for season three of Sherlock is out.

Oh oh oh you know what show is the best though? The Waltons. They have a peacock named Rover and a peahen named Ruby and they're just a great family. CHRISTINE you might like it don't even. They're all bros and they help each other out all the time.
