I absolutely hate when people's checks or credit cards are denied. I always try to pass it off like it is some computer glitch and not because they have 10,000 credit cards that are all maxed out and they try them all. It's so crazy I'll be like oh this crad isn't going through, "i don't know why it must be a mistake, you should call your bank" and then they just hand me card after card....after card until one goes through. Ok those people aren't so bad. But the people who get so embarassed I feel so bad. I try to make it as cool as possible but if you know me whenever I am trying to make something better by pretenidng it is nohting i end up making everything seem like a bigger deal like somehow I wll end up saying like :"your credit card was prolly stolen, your identity is slipping out of your hands as we speak, you should call your senator, they have prolly invaded your house laready and gotten your security code and safe deposit box".
Anyway moral of the story is I hate telling peopole their credit cards/chekcs are rejected...(or do I secretly love it) either way try and make sure your bills are good whne you come into my store...aight!

Britney's Not Coming BackSo I have been waiting my whole life for the Spears performance tonight at the VMA's. I felt like a really great energetic wonderful performance would signal her big comback. Or a little sadistically something crazy like i don't know her kids hanigng from crucifixes from the cieling, or her taking all her clothes off or like running off the stage crying. Either way I figured it would be good and as the eternally hopefully Britney fan I really was hoping it would be great!
I really really want her to comeback but what do we get...a lackluster song with an even more lackluster performance. She barely danced, they surrounded her by like 10000 side performers so you barely even saw her and she did like nothing good. It seemed like she was phoning it in and didn't really mean it. I thought she would give us a performance that reminded us all why we loved her but instead she gave me nothing. It makes me fear but worst fears that maybe she is never coming back. Maybe she really is gone for good : (
And then it got really sad when Sarah SIlverman made fun of her. Like so unnecessary, Britney clearly humiliates herself enough, the jokes are unnecessary and just mean (though the one about how she had accomplished everything she ever would in her likfe at 25 was kinda funny) but really it just felt sad!
P.S. The VMA's are really quite not good in general. Way too much of like 1 seocnd clips from a million different places and the host lady puts me right to sleep. IS she even literate?Ok i'm done for now..bakc to the VMA's , maybe Britney will pull out some crazy show stopper still.

The thing with Britney is she could have been amazing and no one would have noticed cause her dancers and people on the polls where on. I think she will be back she will tighten it up as they say and get back into it. Sarah Silvermen is brutual but ya gotta like her anyways. In terms of the performances I think they did give that party vibe and that was cool, I guess online you can see all of the complete ones. I did see an add for (yes they still should play more videos) what may be the best dating/love show ever if that is your thing. It stars the young and sexy Tila Tequila she invites 16 stright guys and 16 lesbians that should get pretty interesting (she is bi herself).

Holy crap was I sad watching Britt Britt. I was totally waiting for this amazing dance number, I mean all we ever see is her chowing down after leaving the dance studio. I thought "heck she must really be dancing her butt off to be eating so much taco bell". Yeah I was wrong, so wrong. As I was watching it I thought "I am watching the demise of Brit". I guess thats how elvis fans must have felt. Now and and Elvis fans have something in common which I never thought Id be able to say.

Ah, Britney was terrible! Me and Felly had to look it up and check to make sure that it was real and live. So sad. And perhaps even sadder was when Justin finished the show with the best performance of ever (except maybe Chris Brown) proving himself to still be fully in the game while Britney is so sadly not, despite her ability to gain the opening act.

Katrina's WeddingToday is my college friend Katrina's wedding. (e:amanda) is the maid of honor. I can't wait. I really like weddings and friend weddings are the bestest kind yet it seems crazy that now four of my friends are married. I am only 24! Bejeezus! Anywho, everytime I have to get dressed up I remember how much I don't really like my suit and don't' have nice black dress shoes anymore. Unfortunately I don't ever remember this again til an hour before the event when I have to get dressed up again. So here I am in a lackluster suit and crappy black shoes, it always saddens me, I have to take care of this situation, especially the shoes right away! I can't wait until another event! maybe even inbetween the wedding and the reception which there is like a 3 hour time block (which what do yu ever do in between while you are already dressed up) maybe (e:jill) will go with me to get shoes (she is my date for the wedding!) WE'll see. This is the first event I wil go to sinc eI got a digitial camera so hoepfully there will be pictures to follow soon..

Passions is moving to DirectTVSo back in the day when it first started (maybe 2000) i was a huge fan of passions. It was like the best thing ever and I love soap operas in general. Then it got really lame where even now 7 years later, like the same story lines have not really bene plyaed out yet. And like they take everything like it never really happened ( i know all soaps are like this, bu tthis one is particularly crazy about having nothing ever happen). Anyway it is moving from NBC to directtv and so I watched the last episode today. Wowser! They pulled out all the stops, some guy got shot, Gwen showed Ethan a baby that she claims is theirs just as Teresa was about to announce that her child was really not with EThan's father but with Ethan. Adora the baby witchhuman was taken into hell or something like that. Sheridan found out her baby with Louis is really not dead becuase the pimp guy had video of the baby alive. AND Alistair is killing his grandaughter Pretty cuz he likes Fancy better. Oh and Vincet had a Veronica mask on and so he didn't really die when he fell of the cliff and is now really mad and back to serial killing. So the thing is now I will never know what happens cuz I don't have DirectTV but I can guess that what happens will be in like 3 months, the guyw ill have survived the gunshot, Adroa will be back from hell, the scene with gwen and the baby was a dream, and Sheridan's baby is really dead and it was a fake video. And Vincent will be doing the whole half man/half woman crazy serial killer again....if only they could bring back the nurse played by a gorilla!

hahahaha omg i forgot about passions. my mom and sister were really into it for the first few seasons.
I just liked the midget/doll. Too bad he died. Soaps are crazy, but as I recall that one was ESPECIALLY ridiculous.

A Happy Happy Birthdayto you (e:ladycroft). Happy Birthday! I hope it is a great one even though you are half way around the world!!! Do they celebrate birthdays the same way there?
very true. very uncomfortable.
hahhahaha. that was my favorite part of working at hollywood...when it was that returning asshole customer....
but you know, just sometimes it IS the actual bank that's down and it rejects debit cards. i had that happen at dinner (tiwce). then i asked the server if people really could wash dishes for their meal like in the movies :)
All this while I just thought that it was the degenerate gamblers @ the casino that had this problem.
