How was everyone's 4th?

[beepbeepelizabot]

i know it's lame to go to a party and then sit on the computer... because social gatherings are for socializing right? but, if i am recalling correctly, me, gabe, and coltan were in fact socializing. gabe wasn't just "in the hallway with his woman." as you so respectfully put it, brandon. (i see i'm back to being "gabe's woman" again, not lizzy?)

i personally get very anxious in social situations with lots of people, and people i don't know. if i were drinking that night, i'm sure i would have been socializing with people left and right yeah, but the looming fact that i had to handle crying babies the next morning, and the fact that i'd be driving myself home that night, kept me sober, and therefore, kept me unsociable and awkward and who do i feel comfortable around regardless of sobriety? coltan and gabe. so that is all who i socialized with and we just happened to do our "partying" in front of a computer. just as some people did their partying on the porch swing, and others in the lawn, and others, shooting each other with explosives.

like, i admit i would have liked to have had some false confidence flowing through my blood, as i think any socially anxious person would, but i didn't and, why am i defending myself. i think i'm just upset about being called gabe's woman really. that pisses me off more than anything, actually. haha.

but yeah. i didn't think brandon was that bad. i think we're just so used to seeing him so calm and unemotional that the slightest twinge of emotion from him looked gigantic to us. even though, if anyone else did it, we'd think nothing of it. so yeah.

you're right lizzy, brandon was not that bad. I certainly didn't enjoy getting heckled by a drunkie for doing something reasonable that a sober person would do at a party full of incoherent drunkards, but it's really not that big of a deal.

cool, glad we agree. sorry lizz i didnt mean to offend.

are you not gabe's women? is gabe not your man? am i not my mothers son?

i guess if you really found a way to take that negatively to that then i shall not speak of it again.

well, i guess, for so long, i was reduced to "gabe's woman" or "gabe's woman" instead of elizabeth/lizzy, that it felt like i wasn't really regarded as an important stand-alone individual -- i was just a relation to someone else. you know?

but yeah, i was definitely over-reacting to what you said, i'm over it haha

[Archomni]

Didn't get to work.. Didn't get to Blow shit up..... didn't get to do anything but waste 2.1 hours of my life Watching "Hair Spray" then just playing guitar hero III for the rest of it.... not too much happens where i live >.>

Yeah come to think of it I don't think I lit off a single firework. Me and Aaron used to do all kinds of crazy shit with fireworks, but now I don't like spending money on them because it would probably be just as entertaining to just light my money on fire and watch that. I got to work! Holiday pay is the shit.

Oh, and 2.1 hours of the movie Hairspray is a waste of time, but 2.1 hours of John Travolta as a woman... that's entertainment!

[beepbeepelizabot]

hahaha, i like the points where john travolta wasn't even trying to act/sound like a woman... but that's it.

OH, and you know what sucks about working hollywood video (just as it did with blockbuster) we only get time & a half on thanksgiving day, christmas day, and new year's eve... you staples employees get it on all the little holidays, too~!

[Webmaster Gabe]

well not all little holidays. they actually cut a lot of holiday days out 'cus they're penny pinchers

[Archomni]

Got that right Gabe... No Discount, (except special days one time a year sometimes 2) gotta wait 3 months for our "money" to come back to us that we can ONLY spend on Staples, and i basically have everything i need from them... all i need is snacks... and pop... so does gabe... i think he'd die if i wasnt around hahah My sweds....

I did enjoy the John Travolta part of the Whole thing but damn... didnt need to see some chunky little girl with excess Cellulite... shaking her thunder thighs like that... when Christopher Walken, and John were singing that pissed off song, they didnt make out did they? i had to get something to drink during that... disturbing movie... made my eye twitch... mine as well watch "The Cave" or "DooM" a couple times...

[seth]

no holiday pay at a place that's open 24/7/365. i'm not complaining because i didn't expect any, but there wasn't anything good happening anyway (kind of weird, but whatever). i got good tips!

[Webmaster Gabe]

where do you work seth?
