There are so many things that are annoying around the holidays, but I'll only name a few recent ones. A big thing that I'm sure almost everyone would agree with, driving in snow is a pain in the butt! I've fish-tailed, skidded, got stuck, and just plain sick of scraping snow/ice off my windows. Now you ask if when I'm old enough to move out if I'm going to move out of the snowy-winter states, well no because I like the change of seasons. It sort of doesn't make sense but that is alright.
Another recent annoyance is at the Library. Certain patrons feel the need to come into the library and try to fool us with their lies because they did something wrong and wont admit to it. In one instance a patron brought in a book that was two years overdue that had a broken hardcover. We had told them that we wont accept it because it is broken. They persisted that two years ago we had checked it out to them like that, which we wouldn't have since it was in that bad of a condition. In a result they got all mad and hadn't talked very nice to us thus getting themselves banned from using the Library until they make a settlement.
Also another patron came in and owed some money for a DVD that was overdue. If you're late on a DVD it is $1/per day. Well they paid for the charge but wondered when the DVD was due because they said they brought it back on time and that they wanted a receipt. Well I had already cleared it because they paid for it and so I had no way of looking up when they brought it back. So I told them that and they were like, "So there is no way for you to look it up?" well..that is what I had JUST said.. they were like well other libraries can do it. Ok well we aren't other libraries thanks...if you want to compare us to other libraries in a negative way then why don't you just go to the other libraries. So I gave them a receipt and they stood there like they wanted their money back. Obviously they didn't bring the DVD back on time because we also give a one days grace so it would have to of been overdue for four days in order to have charged $3. Ended up just giving them money back when they insisted that they didn't care about paying the fine, well obviously they did because they went to the full extent to explain that they work a low paying minimum wage job. By then I about had it with their stupid why this why that and didn't really care. It isn't my fault that they work a low paying job. So they took back $2 and gave us $1, you know a whole $2 makes a difference.
Oh then another time I was checking On Order slips for Brian and I had just checked the book drop and got a couple books that people had put on hold. Well there was a slip for a book that I had just got a hold for and so I told Brian. He said that the person seen the book that I had in my hand and didn't want it because it was a 3-in-1 book, that they wanted just the stand-alone version. My first thought was well if you want the stand-alone book go buy it your fricken self. There is no reason to buy a stand-alone book when we have a 3-in-1 book with the next two books in the series. And if you don't want to read the next two books in the series then just read the one and return it, simple as that. The stand-alone book was $17.50, which that money could be put towards buying other books in that series instead of wasting it on another copy of a book we already have. It is so aggrivating how people are so stupid towards things like that.

Today I was on my way to school and I was going my normal way I go to school really slow because of all the snow.. well I got to one of the stops that is sort of on a incline and there were cars coming but they were a ways away. So I tried to go but I was going super slow so I decided to wait. Well a truck pulled up behind me and I was like well ok..so the cars passed and I took my foot off the brake.. well I started sliding backwards! and I was like oh my gosh!!! So I put the brake back on.. then looked to see if I put my car in reverse, but I didn't.. was like hmm ok. I quickly tried to go forward again but I was stuck and wouldn't move so I tried moving my wheel around to see if I could get some traction or something. Meanwhile there was this kid wanting to cross the street ahead of me I'm like crap I hope he doesn't cross because my foot was pretty much down the floor on the gas (not really because that would be super dangerous but it was way down lol). But if I got traction and go 60mph I'm going to hit him and he'll die >.<..the guy behind me was probably like what a retard!!! haha...
Today I had to work which was alright, I worked with Tina. It was her birthday and so we got some cheesecake, yumm! After work Mom and I got ready to go to the City of Alma Christmas party at the Elks Lodge. We talked for a little then left. It was funny because going into the place we were right behind Lorrie and Rod. Was like hey guys!! We signed in and I got this little bad that can keep stuff warm or cold, its nice. We found a table to sit at and so it was just the four of us. Later Carl (Tech guy at library) came and sat down with us along with another elderly couple. Apparenltly they knew my Grandpa. Meredith was suppose to come to the party, she said she's been wanting to go since she was little. We seen her Mom and she told us that Meredith wasn't coming because they couldn't stay with her. Lorrie and I was like well we're here o.O.. so she didn't come. We got some snacks that they had out like a cheese and cracker tray and then veggies and dip. They started to dismiss tables for dinner and we thought we were going to be last even though we were right by the tables lol. Eventually we got to go stand in line and got our food. There was swiss steak, chicken, mashed potatoes, rolls, and cake. I looooved the mashed potatoes, it was nice because we got to serve ourselves. I got some really yummy chocolate cake. The guy who knows my Grandpa went and got me another piece even though I said not to, haha was just like ugh ok >.< 50 ="P.">
Last week on Monday the 10th it was a pretty cool day. For our Chemistry final exam we had to go over to the Elementary school and do a presentation to the little kids about the Scientific Method. Jessica is in Mrs. Kolb's classroom and that is the one Briana and I went to. The kids loved us, we brought flash paper over and bomb bags. Did a few of those first and then lit some elements on fire to see what color they burned. I used the overhead to put down how many kids thought what element was going to burn what color and so on. Took us about 35-40 minutes? Mrs. Arnold was kind of pressing us for time but Mrs. Kolb didn't mind =]. It was kind of nerve racking but Mrs. Kolb helped keep the kids under control and it was overall fun. I'm totally glad it is done and over with though!!
I know I've said this before but Amanda is coming for Thanksgiving and I'm excited. Twilight is coming out tomorrow night at midnight but I'm not going to see it then. Going to wait until Amanda comes here =D. The plans that Mom told me was that they're coming up Thanksgiving Day around 11 a.m. and that they were going to go home on Saturday. Suuuucks! But Manda convinced Aunt Debbie to let her drive up following her and stay until Sunday, yay!!!!! It's one more day but still! I can't wait =].
Last night I stumbled upon my old journal that I wrote before I started this blog and it was fun reading some of the things I wrote about. Maybe sometime I'll put an entry on here from it or something!~

Wooot today was Election Day =D!!! I went to school dressed in red white and blue, it was cool. We had mock elections also at school to where everyone could vote. Turns out that Barack Obama won for president at school and Nancy Gallagher (Meredith's Mom) won for district judge! I went to work and decided to park further out that way people that came to vote wouldn't park next to me and ding my car up. It was hilarious, Kyle lost a bet with one of our patrons, who is a State fan, that Michigan would beat State. So as a result Kyle had to wear a Michigan State shirt all day while he worked. Every time someone that liked state that knew Kyle hated state they would tease him about it and he would turn bright red!! Later Brian came out and asked if I knew what was going on down by the river because there was a policeman walking around down there and there was kind of a group of bystanders watching from the sidewalk. I said I had no clue and just kept working. Well around 6:20p.m. I was working on typing up slips for Brian when a cop came in. I first thought that he just wanted to ask questions and see if we seen anything or whatever. He asked me if I knew so and so, which was my Mom!!! First thought that came to my mind was, what happened to her?! or is it Ryan?!..so I was like yeah that's my Mom. He was like,"OK, so you drive the car?" I'm like yeah its mine. He's like,"Well unfortunately someone backed up into it". I was like...oh..my..gosh! Of course I ask is it bad and he says yeah its bad. Images fly through my head of it being a total wreck and you know being un-drivable which made me all upset and I think I made him feel bad because he obviously picked the wrong answer, lol. Lorrie came out and was listening to what was going on and when I got all upset she was like it'll be OK Meggie!! aww Lorrie ^^! I went and got my license so he could look at it and went outside to go see the damage. As we were walking out to my car I calmed down a little and he goes,"hmm I know your brother, Ryan (from seeing my last name). I've had a few encounters with him". I'm like," Oh gosh yeah, haha. I'm nothing like him!" That made us both laugh. Went out there expecting something way worse that it really was. All that was damaged was there was a dent in my bumper that is really deep and about 3 inches in diameter, eep. Then my trunk lid has a big dent all the way across it and scraps all on my fender with chipped paint and dents. He had just missed my tail lights thank goodness. I'm going to take some pictures of it so I might post them lol. He asked what insurance company I have and I said Progressive I think but wasn't sure. Had to go back in and get my keys so I could open my car (would of been logical to do that in the first place but meh). He checked it all out and said that I'm good and that I can pick up a police report tomorrow. Said thanks (hope I did at least!) and went back inside where I debated on calling Mom. I didn't want to get upset again so I decided not to. The rest of the night was pretty quiet from then on and went by relatively fast. Drove my poor wounded baby home and parked her in the driveway. Went in and walked in their bedroom where I go,"So did they call you yet?" they're like uh...who? "the cops" no? "well...someone backed up into my car and damaged my bumper/trunk..." I got all upset again and it sucked! I mean it could of been way worse, but being this is my most expensive thing I own (bank owns it really but you know what I mean), having it damaged when I've only had it not even 4 months. I told them the story and everything and then Mom wanted to come out and see it. She looked it over and said it'll probably all have to be replaced. The police know who hit my car because from what the cop told me the guy felt really bad and called in. I guess what happened was that he was using his company's vehicle and it had a trailer on it, he was backing up and just saw the empty spots on either side of me and just backed right up hitting me! Hopefully the guys company will pay for it or his insurance. My poor car!!!! =[...
As for who won the presidency, Barack Obama and for who won the district judge, Stewart MacDonald. Not so big on Barack but we'll see what he has to offer. I'm glad that Stewart got it but also I feel really bad because that was Meredith's Mom and her whole family worked hard to campaign and everything.

Boooo, Happy Halloween!!!! Haha, originally Amanda and Becca were going to come here for but they wanted to stay there, which I understand. Sucked though because I wanted to hang out with someone or do something at least. It was nice though because we had it off of school due to end of the marking period, can you believe it? 1/4 of our senior year done with! I didn't have to work which was nice. Ryan and Keisha brought Spencer over at like 2:45 p.m. and wanted me to watch him for 15 minutes. Well Guildwars was having their Halloween event and it started at 3, I said yeah but that I wanted them to be back so I could do my event. Well Ryan had to do some stuff so they didn't leave until 5 minutes till 3 argh! Spencer was outside and they had just fed him, great. I asked when he was going to poop and they said it took awhile for him to go. I hurried inside after they left and brought him with me well he wanted to go back downstairs so I went after him and brought him back up sitting him down on this towel and telling him to stay. I got on Guildwars and got everything set, well just as I did he got up and ran over by my door and proceeded to take a poop on my carpet. Omg I was so pissed, but not so much at Spencer because he was giving me signals that he had to go poop but I mean common! I bring him up to my room for like 3 minutes and he has to take a dump? ugh! So I don't know what to do and I take him back downstairs. Luckily Keisha left me his leash so I tied him up outside because they didn't leave me anything else and I had to go clean dog poop off my floor, which smelled lovely by the way. Once I disposed of the poop and cleaned the floor on and around it I noticed that he had peed on the towel I set him on too, I was so not happy. I cleaned that all up then went back out and took him for a walk down the alley in the back of our yard. He met two other dogs but didn't get the chance to sniff each others butts because they were playing fetch with their owner. We turned around and raced home where Jessica and Josh greeted him. I was fed up with him because of him pooping/peeing on my floor made me mad, even though it wasn't his fault really. 40 Minutes later Ryan and Keisha return with Mike, I was still kind of mad because I had been wanting to take a shower and get myself ready for Halloween. I wasn't planning on dressing up but I at least wanted to look decent. Went and took a shower then got ready and everything, wolfed down my burger with fries and was ready to go. Ryan and them took off in their car to who knows where, I didn't want to sit there and pass out candy by myself again like I did last year. Was kind of bummed and Mom asked if I was alright, said yeah like normal even though I wasn't. Just always disappointed whenever a holiday comes because somehow it gets ruined. I went upstairs and decided to wear my Homecoming dress that I had. I looked really good, haha! Mom stayed and passed out candy, I helped her too. Keisha's friend came and went with them to go out again. They went around the block I guess taking Spencer with them. When they came back they wanted Me to watch him because he was getting really wound up and stuff. Pissed me off again because I asked just where they were going and Mike replies,"does it matter?" It's like well obviously it does because I asked where you were going just out of curiosity. I'm not your servant to do as you command. I wasn't going to watch him because we were leaving to go to Grandma and Grandpa's. They tied him up in the backyard and that was that lol! The night was alright, I love dressing up but I wish I could of hung out with someone!
The rest of the weekend was like of just blah. I worked Saturday with Brian and got McDonald's hehe =]. It was interesting because he worked Friday also and I guess some kids who are banned from using the library came in and decided to take a dump on the Men's Bathroom floor/toilet. I have no clue exactly but just what Brian had said a patron said it sounded pretty gross. Some guy from the City came in and cleaned it all up, yay! I'm still reading Eldest, it's going to take me awhile because I haven't been reading as much. I can't wait for Twilight to come out, so pumped! I don't think there's anything else o.O~
