About Me

I'm a Loss Prevention Supervisor, which means that I spend a lot of time watching cameras, apprehending shoplifters and making fun of my partner. I love my job, and while it doesn't define me, it is what I do 40 hours a week.
After getting my Associates Degree and spending a year at SJSU afterwards, I took a year off from school and am currently readjusting to being back. I'm currently taking online classes part time. I plan on getting a degree in Criminal Justice and going into law enforcement, both within the next two years.
When I'm not working my ass off, I'm usually at home watching my Netflix, playing music, hanging out with friends, or at the bars or clubs. I'm a pretty low-key person. At parties, I tend to be the one observing everyone else. I'm a cynical romantic, a conservative Democrat, a passive authority figure, and an independent adult who still feels like a teenager.
I'm not perfect by any means and I will never pretend to be. I will admit my faults, most likely more easily than any talents I may have.
I have an amazing roommate with a bizarre fascination for bukkake, friends I can depend on no matter what, a step-family who I consider my own and a wonderful boyfriend who treats me perfectly.
Overall, I'm pretty boring. I like it that way.

Amazing still it seems...I'll be 23

It's been a week of minor changes, mostly anticipating my turning 23. I finally cut my hair. It's about two inches below my shoulders now. After having it down to my butt for the last several years, i...

Man oh man

I don't even know how to describe today. I mean...really. And I'm drunk right now, so maybe it all feels more surreal than it really is. I dealt with something at work today which I never thought I wo...

Make it last

I finally was financially stable enough to join a gym and I got my start-up fee waived. Jon says it was because of my boobs. I feel relieved to be taking this step. I have more or less resolved my foo...

Meh

There's a part of me that just won't die. Childish, wanting to revert back not to my old ways, but maybe to the times where I had more to talk about than positive things. I longed for a year to be whe...

Stupid Myspace blog

A lot of my good experiences lately have come with hesitation. Even coming down to my parents' for the weekend was something I wanted to back out of at the last minute. I kept thinking about all that ...

No title

When I look at my life as it was a year ago, it's completely different. The main group of friends I hang out with has changed, I'm nearly 50lbs lighter, I'm in a relationship with someone I didn't kno...

The world I know

I received my offer to go to a ghetto store in my company, and I will be accepting it tomorrow. The pay incentive was enough and I seem to work pretty well with the agent there who I've been training,...
