Community Opportunities
I just started a new job, called Community opportunities, and it is wonderful!
I go into handicapped people’s homes and help them with daily activities such as cooking, cleaning, bathing, and I take them to do activities…I love it!
But I had to practice c.p.r. A lot.
C.P.R. is strenuous work, but I understand that it is very important to know when dealing with disabled patients, some of whom have suffered brain damage. But whew, I am glad I quit smoking a long time ago. 
I think that things will get better now that I am doing something to contribute to the world around me.

I’m Pickin’ up Good Vibrations
Well, hello again!
Thought I would give a blog today since so far, I have had a decent day!
I went to the doctor for a checkup, that went well. I am loosing weight!
Now, I don’t think I am terribly fat…but I would like to loose weight. I put on some weight while taking birth control, which is LAME, but I am loosing what I gained initially…woohoo!
I treated myself to a moolatte…(I really am loosing weight…I just don’t eat healthy.) My thing is, if I just eat a little of what I want, I am good. I don’t do the healthy diet, really. I skip meals, except I don’t skip breakfast. Tried that, and it caused me to gain weight. So I have cereal for breakfast…a SERVING SIZE of cereal. That keeps my metabolism from shutting down. Plus, I pop two Leptopril to keep me from feeling hungry right after I eat. I think its helping but it damn well better, I spent nearly 40 bucks on those stupid things.
So…enough about that…because my method of dieting is weird. I strongly advise that no one follow my method, there. Now if someone tries it and gets sick I can’t be sued.
The moolatte from Dairy Queen is effing awesome. I drove around drinking that, wasting gas because I really didn’t have anywhere to go. But I felt the need to get out of the house, and driving is fun so just this once I drove around aimlessly. And I enjoyed every moment of it.
I would also like to aknowledge the fact that Obama beat Hillary, even though it really doesn’t make me a lot of difference because for once, I would’ve voted republican for Ron Paul. I don’t like our candidates, etc. etc., this has been politics with Brittney Miller.
I also got my last report card from high school EVER!!! Straight A’s, baby!
I am off to listen to the oldies station, currently the Beach Boys (fun fun fun until her daddy takes her t-bird away…) Cheerio!

Ah, yes, here we go!
Today, I drove out to see a friend of mine. His girlfriend broke up with him and he needed someone to talk to so me being the awesomest person ever, there I went. We had fun a while, his brother was there and his dad so we listened to music in their studio…after they had band practice. We actually all danced to Lollipop by Aqua (Candyman, you know…check it out.) It was truly a sight to behold. Then, the brother and dad went fishing while I helped my friend tune some of his guitars…then, his ex girlfriend called.
The drama went on from there…oh but yes. He found out while I was there that she cheated on him (filthy whore) and the poor boy had a mental breakdown. She actually told him because she said she felt guilty, and I suppose I should respect her for having the decency to tell him of her infidelity, but it was just heart wrenching to see him so sad, I hate to see anyone I care about hurt.
Its very awkward, in case you have never experienced this scenario, to be around someone who has just learned their love has betrayed them. I love the boy, he’s a great guy and I’ve known him forever. I wanted to help him, but when someone has an aching or broken heart there is absolutely nothing that can console them. Trust me, I know. So I offered to give him time alone. He asked me to stay with him a while, and god help me he looked too sad to leave. So we hung out for a while, watched a movie, just relaxed a little. Talked music -Nine inch Nails, mainly… – But he was hurting, bad. So I hung around until he was ready to actually sleep. I honestly think he just didn’t want to be alone. I understand that mental state very well, I hate feeling alone more than nearly anything, I think he and I share that feeling.
I left him to sleep by Peanut, the wonderfully sweet Dotson dog of his. She is 10, and she loves him so much. She loves me too, which is funny since she normally doesn’t care for outsiders. -she hates his dad’s girlfriend-
I hope things get better for the boy.
You know, even if its hard, there is never really a dull moment in my life.
