Yesterday I went to KHQ 6, the local NBC affiliate and I got to tour, edit and sit in during the 5:00 and 6:00 news, both live shows. It was the most interesting/coolest/fabulous thing I have ever done. I could really go on for ages about it but I wont. Just thought you should know I really like TV Production and I need a job at Q6. Thanks.
I want to go to Seattle this weekend. DAMMIT, dammit, DAMMit.
I would also like to say when I read my past blogs Im like, oh, that was funny, or oh, thats smart sounding and I am impressed with myself sometimes...but then, yesterday, I read Peters blog and he never updates and he did and his entry was soooo good. He combines all the smartness and funniness I sometimes have, or, I think I have, haha, and just gives it to you straight. Frankly Peter, your making me feel stupid. Knock it off.
Oh, also, Micah...did your mom just send you a package, because, Im pretty sure she sent it out at my work and I talked to her like two days ago.
This Week.

I could use so many words to describe this week. Shit, Crap, Horrible, Stupid and Pointless are just a few that come to mind. I worked too much, had to much home work, not enough sleep and didn't get to see near enough of the hot kid from my apartment complex and Phil class.
After this weekend with Dylan he thought it would be fun to hang out. I guess hanging out with Dylan for me is different then it is for him because I was trying to watch Alias and he was trying to get fresh on the couch. After that I played avoidable all week and now that it's Friday I haven't heard from him. Sterling hasn't called all week but he keeps sending pictures. Just make it stop. I’m done with boys I used to know. I can't take it anymore. Make them stay away. Thanks.
I don't know what happened this week but all my teachers thought it would be cool to give me too much home work. I guess if it didn’t take me 30 minutes to drive into work and 30 to drive back to Cheney it wouldn’t be so bad but work is all of a sudden taking all my time. I got a job to pay for rent so that I could live in Cheney to make it easier for me to attended school. Now I spend more time at work and my school work is suffering because of it. This is not working. PLUS, I got my schedule today for the rest of April and May. I don’t have a day off till the 11th of May when I leave for Maryland and when I get back on the 18th I work everyday until the end of the month. What they don't know is that I have a hair appointment on the 6th at 1:00 and I won't be coming to work. My new plan is to give my two weeks the week before I leave for Maryland so once I leave I wont have to go back to work there when I am done. SO, tomorrow is "find-Rachel-a-job-buy-Mom-and-Dad-a-25th-Anniversary-present-and-sketch-out-Jens-B-day-surprise" day. Wish me Luck.
Thats another thing. Jens being stupid and she won't stop.
Also, I HATE MATH. I will never use it. I will pay someone else to do it for me. I should have known in 1st grade when I couldn't subtract correctly this was going to plague me for life.
If you couldn't tell I have been in a bad mood all freaking week. I'm stopping with that now because it's pointless and frankly depressing. Plus I'm sure I don't look attractive with a perma-scowl on. Does anyone? Oscar the Grouch looked cute but that was only because he was Green and he lived in a Garbage can and he helped Elmo find his blanket. Oh, and the hot kid. I bet when he scowls his cheek bones are even more prominent.
Dylan asked if there was something "with" Sterling and I. I was like, ah, how is this your business and no. Then Sterling calls drunks and asks me if he came home and put the moves on me if that would be ok. I hung up.
I don't work tomorrow. I'm ecstatic about it. Can you tell? It's going to be super nice this weekend. I CANT wait.
Rant done.
Oh and I hear Greg Poff is hot. Interesting...

Drunk

2:02 PM
Last night was RAD. It started with a bit of Salt, Tequila, and Lime and ended with my favorite new pal, step aside Vodka, Captain Morgan's. Shit, I think it was even the spiced stuff. You know what, I didn't really look at the bottle much. So, Jen and I called around and we were trying to find some parties in Cheney but there was NOTHING. I didn't want to have to drive anywhere so that both Jen and I could drink but we drove so Jen ended up laying off the booze. After calling like EVERYONE in Cheney I called an old friend, which is kinda like an oxymoron because he is younger then me, but, yeah, knew him from high school, and we ended up going over to his place in Spokane. Shit ton of people there and we drank like ALL of our Rum. I didn't know it at the time. Hehe. So, right, Dylan, god, I feel like Im still drunk, ok, Dylan, like normal he tried to get on me and even with Jens encouragement nothing happend. Seriously. What kind of a person chooses not to get action? Only me. Brad of Brad, Brain, Jacob, Curtis and Corey called and we then headed over to Jacobs house. Dylan was like, come back, try to come back, I'm like, right, ok, then I ended up calling him like twice and leaving a message and being like, dude, we arent coming back, thought you should know. Poor kid. Anyways, went to Jacobs house finished off my poor Captains and then we went on home at about 3:00 something. I swear to GOD I called everyone in my phone BUT my parents. Talked to Tasha a lot (man I love her), called Sterling, called Dan his friend, and called Rob. Left 5 MILLION messages. I HAD to have been slurring my words like no ones business. Honestly. Come and visit me. We will have fun, I guarandamntee it.
Also, My morning started off wonderfully with a little web site nod from the one and only Tim. Thanks!
Ok, it's 11:00 and I am officially still drunk. I'm going back to bed.
Woooo!

Oh yeah, guess who's Dad bought her a new cell phone. Oh, hey, that would be mine. He called today and was like I'm going to come get your phone from you at work so I can transfer all the numbers to mine which you can have and I am like, ok cool! He was like I'm getting a new one (which we had talked about) then I come home and I am like oh, nice phone dad! And he is like, oh, thats yours, I was like WHAT? SCORE! So, yeah, its color but not a picture phone which I can totally live with because the surprise of a new phone was kick ass enough.
So, yeah, didn't get my Math test back today but we did watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail in class which was really fun. I was like saying the lines out loud, like normal, and people were like, oh, you've seen this a few times huh? I was like, We are the Knights that go NE!
I get paid tomorrow. Hell yeah.
Weather here is SHIT.
And just so I don't forget:

I haven't slept more then 3 hours in the last two days. Because of this I'm really out of it. Today I kept seeing people that looked like people I know and JUST when I'm going to yell their name and say hi I see that it's not them. All those movies and no home work turned into movies and THEN home work. What I forgot was that Movies+Home Work+Work=No time to sleep. Or, since I just took a math test let play us a little game...
Rachel invested 3 hours of sleep for two days. She wanted to invest 8 hours of sleep both days but because she is mental she didn't. Let x represent the number of hours Rachel should sleep tonight to make up for her lost sleep.
Ok, ok, ok, let me think....
3-(8+8)=x
3-(16) =x
13 =x
Rachel should sleep 13 hours tonight.
So, for Rachel to sleep her allotted 13 hours tonight she would have to go to sleep at 6:00pm. This, however, is not going to happen because of scheduling conflicts. Alas Rachel will get around 6 hours of sleep and wake up the next morning only to find herself insanely tired. 6 hours is better then 3 hours. Greater then, you know.
I don't even want to know what random shit I'm going to come up with at about 5:00 tonight.

So I have started this new thing were I don't do my home work and I hang out late and go to movies instead. For some reason its making my school work crapy. Perhaps I should stop.
And what do you know, there is a Postal Annex in Cheney. (see: were Rachel works, but, in Spokane.) Im about ready to march over there and be all give me a job I dont want to drive into Spokane everyday. Thanks.
Saw "Girl Next Door" last night. Very good. Go see it. Not as dirty as I thought it would be. Also talked to Sha Sha last night during her PJ party. Sounded like she was having an awesome time. Wish I could have come.
Hi Abby!!

Last night went to Dinner at a friends house with the Parents and Bendy. Its up on High Drive, more of a swanky area in Spokane and the house we were at was Effing HUGE. I was like, really, for one person, this place would be two big. You wouldnt even have to walk into each room everyday. The upside to this was that she has so much extra room at that she has room for a kick ass game room. My Dad and I played some MAD Ping-Pong and I kicked some ass. After that I took on others who also fell to their demise at my hands.
Had to work today which was stupid for two reasons: It was 70 out and I couldnt be outside and 2.) Joe, the local blind/def shopper tried to hit on me. He got hit by a bus when he was little and he has HORRIBLE hearing and can hardly see yet he rides his bike around at night with this HUGE Italian flag on the back of it. He writes things down on paper because he cant really talk well right and today he writes I like you hair when last week I told him I didnt want some freaking biographies on Kerry and Bush and he writes on a piece of paper "Dumb?" Im like WHAT the F. STOP. NO. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENDS TO ME. Im too nice. This is the end. From here on out Im a bitch.
Got home from work and Bendy, Jen and I took the Gangster truck to the mall to pick up my Grandmas Birthday present. Jen and I were Boy scouting the entire time. Awesome.
I dont know whats going down tonight. I want to party but tomorrow is Easter and who knows how drunk people are going to want to be. I say no Holiday is complete without a little drinky drinky.
And if this was my dairy it would be a lot dirtier. You know it.
So, ya, I hear Gillian is going to NY to stalk John Mayer, I mean, check out NYU and of course I hear this from the third party since someone has communication problems. Call me.
I miss Chels.

School

Jen has been thinking of dropping out of school. She thinks she would make a better flight attendant or a massage therapist. Im like, what ever makes you happy, it cant be that bad. I told my family about it this weekend since we were all having dinner together. Jeff, one of my cousins in the Army is being shipped off to Afghanistan and he left Spokane this morning to go back to Hawaii and then off to Bush's War, not to be confused with Harts War. Anyways, many in the Cates family were there, 15 of us to be exact and my aunt Krista (aunt by marriage) used to be a flight attendant and she was like have Jen call me I'll give her advice. Seeing as Krista dropped out of College her junior year to become a flight attendant I might be in need of a room mate soon. This brings up UCS. (Hollar Gill) Ever since George Lucas went there I have been like this is the place for me. I really think that its the best film school in the states and that if I really want to Direct, I need to go there. So, transferring is VERY up in the air right now. Not sure whats going to happen.
Saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind last night. Its hands down one of the best movies I have ever seen. I want to write something that fresh and creative. Something that makes you think and that is just brilliant. I suggest you all go see it. Jim Carry wasnt himself. He was insanely good. I never once though oh look, its Ace Ventura taking on a serious role. It was always just this Joel guy is such a good character. So human. Hard to come by.
Going to see Jersey Girl tonight with my Aunt Lori (my dads sister). Im excited. I hope its cute. And J-Lo dies in like the first 15 minutes of it so Im just really excited. Kevin Smith is one of my favorite directors. I could watch Dogma 5 MILLION times.
Tonight is Passover for my parents. They just finished cleaning the house of all leavening and are now getting into their church clothes to go wash peoples feat. They arent Jewish and they arent Jehovah Witnesses but they share many similarities with the Jewish religion. All of this next week they take part in whats called the days of unleavened bread. So, no bread means crackers without leavening and lots of cheese and peanut better since crackers go well with such foods.
(Cleaning your house of leavening is symbolic of taking the sin out of your life, FYI.) Once Laura, my next door neighbor was eating pretzels during days of unleavened bread and I had some not thinking and my mom saw and she was like Rachel, dont you think those have leavening? I was like 6, eating my pretzels and all of a sudden I was going to hell. Talk about a dysfunctional child hood. Once on the bus on the way to school this Danny Stalkinger kid was like you dont celebrate Easter. I was like nope. He was like then you dont believe in Christ and I was like, no, I do. But you dont celebrate Christmas right. Im like yeah, no Christmas. He is all, well then, how was Christ born, I was like, dude, my parents told me that he wasnt born on Christmas and its not in the bible so we dont celebrate it. Try explaining all this crazy religiousness that I went through to a 3rd grader. They dont have it. No one ever seams to understand. I think these things are why I am so open now. I dont give a shit what relgion you are. I dont care about you sexual orentation. Its your choice. People that judge are people that dont think. Or, they chose not to. Neither, in my book, is expectable. Do you think children growing up in todays world will be as liberal as our generations? In most of my experiences it comes back to the parents and how you are raised. Luckily I dont think I even listened to my parents. We are complete opposites. I think the only thing we DO have in common is our love for booze. And that I am thankful for.
