The Panty Pervert strikes again!

I didn't think I'd have another story so soon, but here is something really weird.

After he came in and did his usual 'sneaking' around (he is so bad at sneaking), Kara went outside for a cigarette and saw him take some stuff out of his truck, put it in a cart, and wheel it up to her. What that stuff was was a duvet and two pillows, all of it was SO dirty, all yellow and brown stained, like it was very old and wasn't washed as often as it should have been. Kara didn't know what to do with it, and she couldn't just leave it there because that would be gross, so she brought it back to the warehouse and had Britney help her throw it out. They both put on rubber gloves (would YOU touch any of that stuff??) and started to move the pillows into a garbage bag. Britney started gagging and dry-heaving, and Kara ran out of the room (maybe she threw up? Poor girl). The rest of the warehouse was coughing and my eyes teared up. It smell like VINEGAR and MOULD. Why did this guy leave that stuff here??

I'm not sure what happened after that, but I think Kara or Grace ended up calling the police about him. His behavious is very very suspicious and something should probably be done about him ...

But, I don't take things seriously very often, so I just think it's kind of funny.

I went and hung out with my friend Danae for a bit because I missed her birthday party because of work ... I didn't want to cancel a shift so early after being hired, that probably wouldn't look very good for me. Her birthday is on Wednesday ... she'll be eighteen, isn't that exciting?

Then when I got home I pulled out my make-up like I usually do in the evenings and just put a bunch on, stuff that I wouldn't usually do in public, just for fun before I take it all off for the night. Instead of doing something I wouldn't do in public, I did some practice for my grad-face. I used so many sparkles and had so much fun! I'm too tired right now after working so much, but maybe I'll post the pictures of my practice tomorrow. I'm glad I practiced though because I think I can do SO much better on the swirls that I drew, hehe.

I am absolutely DREADING grad. Don't ask me why, but I HATE grad. I'm going to cap and gown for my dear old grandparents who want to watch me take my diploma. And I'm going to the 'grand march' so I can wear my crazy make-up (being seventeen in a hick-town, there is not a lot of opportunities to wear extravagant make-up). But I don't think it sounds like much fun AT ALL.

So, apparently the Panty Pervert exists.

I didn't think anything super interesting would happen at work, at least not so soon after I started. But man, this is WEIRD. It's a huge block of text, but it is worth the read. It freaked me right out!

Yesterday I was being trained in the warehouse with this other girl, Courtney, and the two ladies training us were talking about some guy they called 'the Panty Pervert.' I thought they were making him up, quite honestly. Today though, I learned he is very real ...
So the story goes: apparently there's this tall Greek guy that the sales associates know as the Panty Pervert. And what he does is comes in almost every single day, and heads for the women's lingerie section. In the warehouse they were saying that he would pick up a pair of underwear, and pretty much just inspect them with a silly little grin on his face. Apparently he has been caught SNIFFING the underwear. That's pretty gross ...
And this one girl Jordan says that she was working the fitting rooms one day and he came up to her with a bathing suit and said, 'I want to buy this for my daughter in Greece, but I don't know what size to get. You look about her size, can you hold this up to yourself so I can see if it's right?' Of course, Jordan refused ... what a gross man! I was positive there would be no one ACTUALLY like that ... or at least no one in this small town. His favourite items are the Hello Kitty pajamas and swimwear, both of which we get new items everyday.

But today I had just finished my training on cashier, and then I was called to the fitting rooms over the intercom. I was confused because I didn't think they would want to train me on something new right after I had just finished my training. But I went to the fitting rooms, which are just behind the women's lingerie section, and Kara told me that she had to be in the warehouse, and I had to pretend to be straightening up the undergarments so I could 'guard the section.' I was thinking, you are JOKING, but did it anyway. About thirty seconds later, someone tapped me on the shoulder and it was a creepy tall Greek guy with a weird grin on his face asking me to do a price check on a pair of Hello Kitty pajama shorts. I told him I would look into it (I didn't know what else I should have done?) so I walked away to get Kara because she usually deals with this guy. As I looked back, I saw him examining the crotch of the shorts with great interest. It was a very scary moment.

So, apparently the Panty Pervet exists. I'll most likely be posting more stories about this guy, heheh.

First of all, I apologize for the whiney entry yesterday. I'm just going through some yucky stuff right now and it's getting me very stressed and frazzled, and I guess I just felt like complaining. Though I do still mean everything that I said in it...

ANYWAY. Work has been all I've been doing lately. I started my new job officially yesterday (after two days of orientation already) and now I am onto 8 hour shifts. So I have been on my feet all day putting sensory tags on clothes and hanging clothes on the appropriate hangers. There is a lot to remember there! It's a pretty decent job though, and the pay is good, and the people are generally nice ... like in all clothes stores though, there are a lot of girly girls who talk about their millions of boyfriends and terrible parents who ground them and their so called 'best friends' that are also 'bitches.' Sigh...
But this girl Courtney was in the warehouse with me all day and she's not super girly or anything. No more girly than me, anyway. We got along really well so working the warehouse all day wasn't so bad.

Just think about the money ... ;)

Oh, one more thing - GOOD news! The manager says she doesn't give a rat's ass what colour my hair is. (well, she didn't say it like THAT ...) but still! So after grad (which I am DREADING) is done, I'm dying my hair purple. So stick THAT in your pants.

I hate to be the bringer of bad news ...

I know right? D':

There isn't much info yet but it would appear that MTV wants to remake the Rocky Horror Picture Show into a TV series ... I say, DON'T DO IT. There are too many remakes coming out lately, someone should do something original. (Although, some remakes I do feel are worthwile, such as Batman and King Kong. Free Willy and Karate Kid were just unecessary.) And Rocky Horror! You can't remake that, it's perfect as it is. And you know what they say, you can't improve on perfection!

The worst thing about this is that it most likely will NOT be the original cast. And without Tim Curry, I don't know, I might just die. This is the man that originally began my infatuation with drag queens/transvestites/men in make-up. He managed to make it look so manly and sexy and I have wished that I could be a man in make-up myself ever since. So much inspiration.

Please MTV, you don't have to do this.

Sounds like the photoshoot is at the end of June, when she's finished with all the summer weddings she has to do first. Yay I'm excited :D

I have done some photoshoots in the past by myself, with some pretty neat results.

I have never done one with an actual photographer, however. Today a friend of a friend who is a blooming photographer sent me a message saying that she liked my style and asked me to do a photoshoot with her! I told her definitely, and I am very excited for when we do it! We haven't set a date yet. But when I get the pictures I will definitely post them up because I'm sure they will be awesome! I mean, look at the pictures she makes!

I think I am having a whiney complain-ish sort of day.
My first day at work did go well though. I don't know if I can get away with my hair though. I asked one of the other employees (not a manager) and they said that there were people who worked there who had vibrant pink and green streaks in their hair, but she wasn't sure what they would say about the whole head. But I only like soft colours in my hair, I tried hot pink once rather than cotton candy pink and did not like it very much. So maybe if I try one of my soft colours it will be okay. If they ask me to take it out, then it washes out in about a week if I shampoo it everyday anyway. So after a while, I guess I'll try something ...

It is pouring outside right now and I want to go out and walk in it so bad ... but look at what time it is! Much too 'dangerous' for little me. Psh.

My current hair.

I am getting so bored of the blonde. It has now been two weeks and I feel so terribly plain! I love having bright colours in my hair ... this is getting very difficult for me. I miss my pink hair so much. I go in for my training for my new job today at 5:00, and I'm debating whether I should ask them if they allow dyed hair today, or if I should wait. Grad is in 10 days and I think I'll keep it blonde for grad, because it looks pretty good with my dress (and also my dress is purple, and if I dyed my hair I would make it purple and that might be too much purple). So I think about it ... and wait ... patiently ... sigh ...

Then there's this thing about everyone telling me how great I look blonde and they like it blonde the best. I disagree though ... Everyone ELSE may like it blonde but I'M the one who has to actually wear it! And I, personally, do not like feeling so plain.

But I guess I can put up with it for these 10 days ... but then I don't know ... I may just go insane (that is, more insane than currently)!

Oh, and while on the topic of hair, I was on Facebook and one of my friends had joined a fan page, and when I clicked on it, I was distracted by one of the other people who had joined it. I do NOT want this hair.

Today I had a consultation about an icky mole/freckle thing in the middle of my forehead. I have hated it for as long as I can remember, and I began to hate it more when I took an art class in grade 4 and one of the boys told me it made me look like an Indian and it was funny. I have recieved comments like that often ever since, but I've gotten better at make up so I can mostly cover it up now. Not completely though and people still notice it at times ... so I am getting it removed once for all via laser treatments. Good riddance! Honestly!

This evening I played squash with Lana. I am extremely uncoordinated with my hands so things like tennis, badminton and squash just totally go over my head. It was probably the most boring game of squash Lana has ever played, but I did my best. I think I'll go again with her some more and one day I'll be able to run with big boys ... maybe.

I also noticed today that I say 'by the way' when it is not even remotely by the way of the topic at the moment.

I AM NOT DEAD.

I know it's been a while since an update. I just haven't had much interesting to update on since my zombie shoot. I am unhappy with the consistancy of the blood - also, it was a tad bit too purple. It was fun anyway! Now, onto the news:

On Tuesday I was forced to get my hair did.

I am having some money issues and I have bills to be paid and I live in a redneck town, where purple braids and weird make-up is just unacceptable. I told you, I was born into the wrong town. Or the wrong country. POSSIBLY EVEN THE WRONG PLANET. I may just be a martian. I asked for the blonde to be very very pale, so she brought it up as pale as it possibly could go for now. I needed a 'normal human being' colour, and blonde was the only one I think I could deal with. I could also having black hair, but I used to have black hair and bleaching it out so I could put bright colours in was just too much work and totally KILLED my hair, which grows slow enough as it is. I don't think the colour is too bad though ... but I know I will get bored of it really fast. I like to have some weird colour in it! As soon as I am settled into a job and they see what a good worker I am, I will dye it back to bubblegum pink. Or maybe, before that, blue. I've always wanted to give blue hair a try. We'll see! Right now, I have to go to bed. I have been sleeping so badly and I'm starting to get sick. Good night all!

Hehe, the hairstyle in those pictures kind of remind me of Gwen Stefani. My hair looks really short, really it's down to about my armpits. I wish it were longer! I miss my two-foot extensions already!

RUN.

Recipe for BLOOD

... minus the violence.

BLOOD
Is it real? I can't tell!

And that is because my recipe for blood is far superior to anyone else's! Here are the reasons why:
1. Even when it had dried, it is still wet and creepy looking!
2. It's cheap and easy to make.
3. It's safe for eating ... although I don't reccomend it, because I don't think it tastes very good.
4. All you need is water, corn syrup, corn starch, lots of red food colouring, and blue or green food colouring! For this particular batch, I used green.

I will now walk you through the steps. PAY ATTENTION!

STEP 1.
Take 1 cup of water and 1 cup of corn syrup and mix them together in a pot on the stove turned up to a little past 5/medium heat. Stir until it looks like there is only water in the pot.

STEP 2.
Turn down the heat a bit to low. Stir in 1 cup of corn starch. This will make it opaque and also thicken it a little bit.

STEP 3.
Take the blood off the heat now, it's time to colour it. Use a LOT of red food colouring. We don't have pink blood! (I don't reccomend the type of food colouring I'm using in this picture, it's a little pink on its own. Use the colouring that comes in this kind of bottle.)

STEP 4.
Use about two drops of blue or green food colouring, because we don't have bright red blood either! I used green. ONLY USE A TEENY TINY BIT!! Remember, you can always add more but there is no taking away.

STEP 5.
Let the blood sit there and thicken. It will probably separate a little bit, but don't worry, a little stir will get it back to normal. Just let it cool.

STEP 6.
Now we need to move the blood into a water bottle to store it (at least, I use a water bottle, you use what you want). Use a funnel for this, or it could get a little messy. If you are like me and don't have a funnel, be innovative and use paper and masking tape!

That's what works for me! I hope it works out for you as well. Use your blood for whatever your little heart desires. I'll be using mine tonight ;)
I also made some for Halloween 2009.

A date

This cabin:

and I have got a date tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully tonight.

Cute isn't it?

I'm going there to take more photos because it has been there for, oh, I don't know, probably 50 years. It was last used in 1992, and now they've decided they're taking it down in May! So I'm heading out to get as many memories as possible because there is something about rundown old buildings that is just so appealing to me. It's beautiful.

Apologies

I came home from the trip on Monday night, but I haven't been keeping up to date and what not, because I've been sick. I'm feeling much better today though, so I'll get back on track! :)
