First Crazy Customer

So, today was my fourth day working at Modern Pastry. I got my first crazy customer!

Me: May I help you? 

Lady: *looks at me* WHOA!! LET ME GUESS, YOU'RE FROM IRELAND!!

Me: No, but my family is...

Lady: I KNEW IT! HOW DID I KNOW IT! YOU DIDN'T EVEN OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND I KNEW. I CAN'T BREATHE, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE! OH MY GOD! HOW DID I KNOW? IT MUST HAVE BEEN PSYCHIC KARMA! MY NAME IS NANCY. 

SNUGGLESUIT

I'm trying not to cry. 

Watery cheeks

Funny conversation I heard on the train last night, two drunk girls:

Girl 1: I have watery cheeks.

Girl 2: What does that mean?

Girl 1: You know, the feeling you get in your cheeks right before you throw up.

AHHH

I don't like this week!!!

I'm exhausted, I miss my boyfriend, my fingers hurt from the awful strings at work - I have so much to read and do and I just want to sleep! 

Starting next week, I'll only have Wednesdays off!! And it's not much of a day off, since I'm in class until 7:10 PM! :(

MEH... I NEED A VACATION ALREADY =|

Early MORNING DRAWING

I shouldn't draw at 1 AM, strange results occur! 

Scatterbrains

TODAY:

- I was in such a rush earlier this morning that I ran out of the house wearing two different shoes: I put MY boot on my left foot, and my mother's boot on my right foot. And I had to wear them for the rest of the day. No one noticed until I pointed it out. 

-I drank RED PLUM JUICE for the first time in probably 2 months and it was delicious <3

I drank the whole bottle in less than 5 minutes. 

Great, great

For some reason, I want to read "The Great Gatsby" RIGHT NOW! 

I've read it twice before.

Such a great novel. I wish I could write as great as F. Scott Fitzgerald. 

TATTOO

$2.69

A price tag sticker is stuck to my bathrobe, and the price is $2.69. 

I guess I'm worth $2.69!

Would anyone like to buy me?

MILK

I just want to drink milk. 

Since when do I dream so much?

I had a nightmare last night - I was on the train and a boy stole my wallet! Before he stole it, I hit him with that beastly, sparkly thing multiple times. And then I was upset because all of my IDs and my debit card and everything else was gone... the dream was so real, I actually thought my wallet was stolen.
