I met Danielle Fischel once ( i.e. Topanga) at a N Sync concert back in the day. You know the days where she was still somewhat known and she dated the now outed Lance Bass. She passed by me and she smelled like vanilla , we talked for a second and she gave me a hug (that's when i got the whiff) and i just thought she was such a classy broad. There i was in some jeans with my hair all greasy, wearing an oversized shirt . (some things never change) And all i wanted to be was classy like she appeared. She was wearing this tank top with a high-waisted black skirt with a matching cardigan and i was JEALOUS! I wanted my hair to be straight and highlighted. I wanted cute outfits and vanilla scents and really I was convinced that i needed to be just like her to get anyone to notice me. So i bought a few skirts and i tried to "dress up" a little , this lasted a whole week before I gave up on the idea. So smelly , greasy , tacky Melissa prevailed and thank goodness because this is what became of Topanga....
lets get back to this...
this is one of my favorite Boy Meets World moments..
Corey was HOTT in his geekiness ..no lie..

Wtf? Is wrong with people!?!
So today a woman comes in to purchase some clothes , you know normal
everyday shit since I work at a retail store. So the woman leaves and
her bag goes off, the girl who rung her up had carefully taken off all
the hard tags , but her register wasn't working so the soft tags were
still activated. The lady comes storming up to the associate who rung
her up and starts screaming " You embarrassed me, you made me look like a
thief...you don't know how to do your job...yada yada yada.." The girl
runs the tags through the deactivate her one more time and politely says (
maybe a bit sarcastic ) "sorry about that ...here you go have a nice
day"
The woman proceeds to storm off angry and as she walks out she beeps
again! This is when all hell breaks lose! She comes over I mean lunging
towards my manager screaming about how dare they ..yada yada yada
....and throws her purchase at my managers face telling her as loud as
humanly possible to return it ...and that she doesn't want any of it.
..she goes on to tell us we hate our customers and we don't care about
putting them through that kind of embarrassment. Hmmm lets weigh it out
for her.. A door going off which is very common at all retails stores
and rarely means that someone is stealing.. Or an older woman screaming
and throwing bags in the middle of a store. Maybe things are done
differently in europe and being loud and obnoxious is really being quiet
and discreet! Maybe everyone in europe suffers from a case of opposites
day, or maybe just maybe it was just the crazy woman. We ask to see her
receipt and she rips it in half going on about how there should be a way
to regulate this system. Hey lady did anyone regulate your medication
today? I think not! I processed her return and it only added up to 136
dollars. Now don't get me wrong I think 20 bucks is a lot of money but
she made the biggest scene , talked about insulted she was and how she
would never shop there again (thank god) and she only spent 136
dollars...psshhhh sit down woman!
Anyways she went on to say that if she saw one charge from our store on
her statement she would sue us personally. How else would she sue us
though? Impersonally? Is that possible ? Or does she mean she would act
as the lawyer? So confusing but she went out and this time she didn't
beep so I guess at the end of the day she won?

I can't believe people;
I am at starbucks right now, and I'm listening to a man argue with the
manager because he wasn't said hello to...it apparently happened 5
seconds after he walked in. Lets remember that its 7am and the poor girl
who was accused of not saying hello probably had just woken up. And not
only did he accuse this young girl of not saying hello he also said that
she laughed at him when he mentioned it. Well can you blame her? So
there he is now fighting with the manager going on about his rights as a
human, blah blah blah. So just because someone serves you coffee they
are suppose to treat you like you are their master and they your
servants? What about the poor girls right to not be bitched at by guys
who own expernsive cars and had bad nights. That's why men with small
penises should not be rich , I wonder if there is a way we could
regulate that.
I still am in amazement of this guys behavior, I really wonder what can
be going through this guys mind right now? Anyways regardless I must
re-iterate I CAN'T BELIEVE people. !!!
This all goes back to the chain (the circle) of screaming.. If confused
please refer to how I met your mother. Hahaha

it's been a long time...
I've been working non-stop...and to tell you the truth it isn't fun.
I have a lot of things i want to be able to do in the next couple of months
and so i guess focusing on work and making money is kind of important.
On to good news though: LUIS IS BACK ...
I haven't seen Luis since he came to visit in New York City in May..
so this is pretty much the best news i've come across so far...
but more on that later.
Me and Shadi went to visit him at warped tour today ...
this is us trying to keep out of the sun .... but way more on that later.
I stay home A LOT lately , it's just my sisters, my dog, and me . I appreciate time in my bed , the way work is going all i want to ever do is sleep. Toby is probably the best dog in the world and makes me soo happy to see him everytime i get home tired as hell....
this is the cutest picture of him EVER!!!
he is way excited to see me.!!!!!
Okay... On to warped tour..
I got there around 11 just in time to catch TAI, everyone keeps talking about how great the new album is and i really am trying to get into it but right now im not really feeling it but i have to admit "summer hair= forever young" is such a fucking catchy song! And William's stage presence is always something to see. He just gets soo into it , it makes me want to get into it and then i just end up dancing like a fucking teeny .. (not that i mind)
After, I spent some quality time with Luis and Annel having a mini picnic and catching up on a nice shaded grassy area near catering. Its so great when Annel gets to be around I don't usually get to hang with her but I just love being around her because she is genuinely a sweet person. Shadi finally arrived and I went to go grab her at guestlist and ran to the AP tent to meet luis so we could go watch Motion City Soundtrack together. Got to see Diaz for less than 30 seconds but it was a sweet 30 seconds none the less. After the set was done we got off stage and this one girl came up to us and asked us how we got to go on stage. I found this hysterical mostly because I think she couldn't believe that someone as normal not scene looking would be allowed backstage let alone on side stage for a band. HAHA I was so tempted to tell her i sucked someone off to get there but i just told her the truth and let her know that my friend worked for warped tour. Luis then went off packing and me and shadi found solace under the catering tent stealing some drinks from the warped staff. We later reunited with Luis at the AP tent right before the Say Anything signing. We waited around to catch a glimpse of Max because well HE's HOT.. but we were soon over that ...
Luckily we were also there to help Luis control the line and not only did we do our job we became OBSESSED with the signs Luis made.
I LOVE THIS PICTURE because Shadi is sitting next to a very familiar AP cover..
We left warped around 5 pm, we hiked to Sha's car it seems
This is a picture on our long trail to the hill where she parked.
We ended the night with Sushi Sumo , Target and Coldstone. yum
all in all a good day

Its times like these I wish I wasn't a girl.
I'm an idiot, really though I am. I spend 10 years of my life feeling
bad for myself. Ten fucking years!!! That's someones childhood, that's
an education amongst other things. All that time letting myself believe
that there was something wrong with me. Well FUCK that! Last night it
just hit me like a ton of bricks. Why do I even waste my time? I have
had crushes that are rivaling my sisters age , its pretty pathetic to
think at one point after all these years they are just going to wake up
and be like poof...oh wait I do really like that girl I never pay
attention to. BULLSHIT! I am worth soo much more than that. So from now
on I am pissed and soo mad that I'm not going to allow myself to be
treated like second best. its hard being a girl sometimes, you have all
these people telling you how to be and its hard to hear your voice in
there. But to be honest I really like myself the way I am. Chubby, whiny
, at times needy and the rest of my faults because at other times I'm
caring to a fault, funny , and quirky and I don't mind taking the bad
with the good. I'm turning 25 this year and this the no bullshit year,
I'm doing everything I want to do for me from now on. Lets get this
started.
