Why Me? August 14, 2008

I work in a deli.
I have a uniform. It declares that I must wear black or tan pants with a white collared shirt. I like this.. that means I only needed to buy shirts when I got my job. And because they were white I need to wear a black tanktop under them. Because white bras didn’t make sense to own before. I never wore white and they’d show through my really thin old black (grey) shirts. So I just assumed wear a black tanktop underneath.

It is warm out.
I walk to work. It’s not a bad walk. it’s shaded for a good portion of it. it’s flat land mostly. But it IS summer. therefore wearing two shirts is a liiittle warm. So I tend to walk in my tanktop and my work pants.

This is how it looks.

I think it’s decent. I’m covered. It’s modest… it’s something I wear for wooork. I’m not prancing about in a little black cocktail dress and heels or applebottom jeans.

I walk on a main road.
To get there I have to go past the rotary in my town. It’s a pretty busy road. There are alot of cars. there’s a highway offramp there and all. I walk on the sidewalk and lots of cars pass me.. sometimes people I know are driving by and they offer me a ride. That’s always nice.

Some fools in their cars think it is FUNNY.
To drive past me and scream out their windows. or to honk at me and make lewd hand gestures.
It doesn’t happen everyday.. its happening less now that people are headed back to schools. so I’m going to assume it was mostly college kids or something. But why? WHYYY? do you need to drive past someone and screeeam out your window. I can’t understand what you’re saying, you’re driving too fast.

And you scare the bejeebus out of me when you honk at me. I can hear that through my headphones. and its alarming to suddenly hear HONKHONK!! in the middle of something that should be my soothing music. It’s even scarey when I hear it through my loud growly music.

This leaves me wondering. Why me? What did I do to you? I’m not dressed to be catcalled. I’m not shaking my butt down the road. I’m just attempting to not dehydrate.. again XD

As For Big Y. That is my place of employment. I workj at the Deli.. I play with a big slicer and they gave me my own box cutter, and it’s GREEN!

Honeslty I thought I was going to haaate my job.. I thought I was going to despise going there all the time. Then again… prior to turning 18 I’d onmly be able to for front end or something. I am SO not good with small talk, or strangers. I am so shy it’s almost a physical need to run away sometimes.

But the deli is okay.. I’m behind a very large counter and people usually go there first (cause it’s right next to the entrance) so they’re still all joyful and such. Not stressed yet. The moms get all happy with you when you offer their kids cheese and talk to them while you’;re doing stuff, and I can do that. I’m WAY better at talking to kids. Mostly because they like to talk about EVERYTHING. so it’s easy.

And the people I work with are funny. My manager sings while he works and the assistant manager is actually kinda scarey and REALLY anal-retentive. But, most of the time I’m comming in at the end of both of their shifts so I don’t see them too much. I think they want me warking on closing shifts, which is totally fine with me. There aren’t a billion customers and I can just clean up the windows, wrap up stuff and talk to the two other ladies who work closing. They’re deffinatly more laid-back and the night manager of the store is much more laid back too.. she hangs around and talks to the other two deli ladies.

But some of the customers are funny. I had this older guy come in and ask for a sample taste of like six different salads. then he bought the one he didn’t taste. I mean it must have been one he always buys or something. But it was still funny.

And this one woman who asked for a piece of cheese even though she hald like three kida with her. I thought maybe only one of them could eat cheese so I gave her the one slice, and she started folding it to plit it between two of them. so I gave her a second one and her daughter got all happy and bounced about eating it and asking questions. It was very amusing and really cute. :)

Anywhooo! I’m done rambling like a loon.. Bye for now!

School Snow Nicknames and MOAR December 8, 2007

So… I finished* my DPHS site. I worked most of the kinks out (unless you’re looking at it on an uber laptop screen). And my DC teacher left me a message on the courseware asking if I’d like to make designs for all the other schools in the district. :: dances :: I feel so cool! XDD

*By finished I obviously mean it has all the pages but two of them have nothing on them because freewebs won’t let me. ^.^

It SNOWEEEDDDD not on my birthday… but the day afteer! that’s good enough for me! I had a small birthday party with friends and family at my mothers house yesterday. it was fun… we made sketti and sauce.. and had cake and ice cream.. and my friends actually hauled themselves out to my moms town in the snow for meee XD.

The boy had to leave early though because his little sibling had to go to bed by nine. Ah well. And now i have said little siblings socks in my backpack to give the boy next time i see him… cause the little one left them in Connors room. XD Go little kids haha.

Also… I guess my name is kinda strange eh? Welps. I got my nickname when I was in 6th grade and it’s followed me through school and a move to a new town. :: grins :: even the boy calls me it half the time. Alrighty. In 6th grade I had a friend named Rin. Well… I can’t remember her regular name now. I called her Rin. And I was WAYYY in to anime. Like REALLY. I’m nowhere near as bad now. Anywahhhy. She decided I should have a japanese nickname one day. At the time I was madly obsessed with Inuyasha. So I wanted the word Inu in my name. Inu means dog. And since I was always pretty short amongst my friends then. So she put Ki in the front of it. Telling me it meant cute. gahaha… not.

But ya know… 12 year olds and other languages aren’t always reliable. It really Means Energy. My nickname is really a strange mixture of the two words Ki and Inu. KiInu.. but nobody who reads it can ever pronounce it as two words for some reason. and over the years it’s just become Kiinu. And nost people just pronounce it Kee-noo now… heck even I do. but back then it started at Key-In-Oo.. threee syllables XD

It’s mutated into Kiinu over the years and I’m alright ith that XD So now you all know. KiinuNoBaka really just means Stupid Kiinu or… Kiinu has lots of Stupid. directly… XD

Annd… moar? hmm.. I have a pet bunny and Rat now… we’re just adding to our strange mixture of animals… the house is becomming noahs ark almost… Just gotta convince mom to let me have a bat… BUAHAHAHAHA it’ll never happen

Kiinu is an Experiment! August 29, 2007

Today was my first day of school. My senior year. w00t! I get a ride this year that isn’t the bus… yey!

MY homeroom was changed… which was weird… but I got moved to the library.. Because of the Digital Communicats class I took. As it turns out. That class is an experiment about intergrating online courses into highschools.

The point of the whole thing is to prove that we as students CAN learn off eachother witout a teacher leaning down our throats. That the web can be used to help us learn better. So over the course of this year 22 sudents will be enrolled in this course online without a teacher watching them.

We’re allowed to learn whatever we please, however we please. Just because it’s the first try. They’ve basically given us our own server with blogging capabilities and a forum. Our job is to learn how to best use our server. The best way to post blogs and the best way to post in the forums. How to post pictures there. And eventually, how to post up podcasts and videos onto it.

Our ‘assignments’ are to keep a blog and a personal word document journal about how we figured each thing out. even if we just learned it off of one of the other students who possted earlier in the day. we just copy their instructions and cite them with their username.

So we’re hopefully proving that students can learn off eachother without having to be in the same place at the same time with a teacher preaching to them and making them take notes. That we don’tNEED to be at school to learn. That the internet can be used for good. And that in a few years we can hopefully learregular courses on the site. But for now it’s just for our technology classes… and only a select few of them too.

But If I get an A or a B my name get’s put on one of those plaques on the wall that nobody ever reads… though it’ll still be cool to be on one. XD
