Okay so i work in a casino as a short order cook in the Deli. we flip burgers make Philly cheese stakes and Rubens. we put things in fryers. we ask "do you want fries with that?" we get paid $8.00. There is this girl i work with. I went on a thirty Minute brake she pissed off three or four customers. there was an order i cooked before i left for brake and this poor lady was still waiting on it while it sat under the warming lamp when i got back. another had ordered their food five ten minutes before i got back and then had to wait another ten when i got back because she had not even started it. she would put food in the fryer baskets and not start the timmers so ether it burned or it sat there and thawed over the hot oil. and i spent all night picking up after her dumb ass.
she even went to the bathroom and didn't wash her hands.

It's my birthday today (Sunday). On Thursday, my flatmate threw a party at which my other flatmates ate my cake, even though I asked if they would save it. The girl who bought it didn't bother, because I made plans with a different friend for that Thursday before she told me. So now everyone is gone today, I have no plans, no cake, and no friends to spend it with. So I'm going to town on my own, dangit. I'm going to dye my hair and have a cupcake and have a grand time writing at my favorite coffeeshop. Or at Waterstones, amongst the books. Because screw it. Because I'm only here until June. Because two fantastic friends made it better even though they aren't here with me. Because I haven't had fun unless I'm spending time with the one friend here who I think genuinely enjoys spending time with me.

So screw them. I'm not getting any younger, obviously, and I don't need to waste my time on them. And I feel really good for finally saying it.

"not getting any younger" lol. I can see how old you are and it's not old enough to be using that phrase.

Happy Birthday.

And your flatmates sound like arseholes, not just from this thing, either.

[Declan Arryn]

Haha, well. You know what I mean. But thanks. And yes. Yes they are. Why I decided to stay a year instead of a term is beyond me. But I'm going to Scotland next weekend as a late birthday gift to myself. So oh well.

Hey, guys. Me again. lol.

One of my best friends just asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding, even though she's marrying a guy I'm not 100% a fan of. Engagement season has started amongst my graduation year and I am not amused. I'm happy for her, obviously, but I feel like Jane from 27 Dresses already and this is only the first one.

[Selwyn Thorfinn]

I always try to think of weddings as an opportunity to upstage the bride, but maybe that's just me...

[Jaquellene Jack Dyllan]

Proofreading shitty screenplays is killing my soul.

Also, my school is taking its time letting me know if I am graduating early. I am but I need to know if I can walk... I have 19 days to get a cap and gown.

[Selwyn Thorfinn]

can't you just rent one? Nobody here actually buys them.

[Everly Bardugo]

About the wedding thing, it probably would be except it's for one of our little trio of best friends. Four if you could our bro, Zack. But I just found out that yet another friend got engaged yesterday and I am baffled. It's far too early! They're not even out of uni yet, and I can't imagine settling down without knowing what I'm doing, career wise. That might just be me, but the idea freaks me out.

[Selwyn Thorfinn]

it freaks me out, tbh, and a lot of the people I went to school with are married with toddlers.

serious advice tho, you don't have to be 100% a fan of the guy. Unless he's abusive or something, it's not really your problem. Think of the bridesmaid offer as a marker of how close your friendship is and be sure to organise lots of girls' nights once she's married so you don't have to see the husband.
