I have a history of taking off my shirt

Running errands today! Orientation yesterday was uneventful, but I think Target will be good. I get to work sales floor and cashier, and I learned what to do if someone gets hurt or I get robbed while on the job. Exciting! Kinda.
I'm babbling, so I'ma leave. This is a boring post. I wish I was cool and had good stories to tell. I could follow up Steph's post of a few days ago and say I scored a 64 and a 74 in bowling last night, and only fell once. Woot. I'm really disappointed in this. Whoever can liven this post up with a great comment will be my friend forever. And win a Dodge Viper.

Biggest desire at this moment: hmmm, maybe a cell phone. Or a chalupa. I'll go for the chalupa.

Guess if I have a cell phone. Oh I do. Guess if I'm going to call you all the time now. Oh I will.

Now...to liven this up...

Don't you think humans would be more lovable if they were furry? Just a thought, but maybe in a perfect environment we really would look more like apes. Maybe the Neanderthal skeletons we've found are really just Adam and Eve and their immediate children because in a perfect environment we would have fur.

Once apon a time, there lived a poor stable boy. He worked everyday tending to the horses in his masters stable.There was also a milk maiden who worked with him. And she was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. He was secretly in love with her, and everyday would watch her as she came in, milked the cows, and left. He would talk to the horses of her beauty, and how is wished he could summon the courage to just tell her what he thought of her.
A few years go by and he is now a strapping young man. He still works in the stable, and she still comes in everyday, milks the cows and leaves. He had worked up the courage to speak to her long ago, and now they talk daily of how the horses are, and what cows give the best milk, and so on, but he still had not told her how he felt. An idea had been forming in his head that one day he would follow her out of the stable and tell her how he felt.
The day came and after a gentle nudge from a horse, he followed her outside. He ran to catch up to her, and he stopped her and told her right there how all the stars could not shine as brightly as her face, that her eyes were more gentle than a baby's breath, and how Michalangelo himself could not sculpt a statue half as perfect as her. She looked at him with tears in her eyes, and quietly told him that she was engaged to another. She thanked him for his beautiful words, and turn away and left.He was crushed. He ran back to the stable vowing never to leave it again.
Time akwardly went by, he continued to care for the horses, but when she can in, he would try and busy himself on the other side of the stable. Some time later, she came in as usual, and he headed to the back of the stable. However a short time later he heard crying. He himself was almost moved to tears at hearing the sound of her voice so unhappy, and he hurried over to find out what was wrong. Through the tears she told him that her fiance had called off the engagement, and that she was heartbroken. The stable boy was elated. Now perhaps she could love him instead. He thought that since he already told her how he felt for her, he should now show her that he was someone worth of her love. He began bringing food for her to eat while she worked. He worked hard to care and provide everything she needed while she was with him. He knew it was only for a few hours a day, but he hoped that she would see the love and care he put into her.

Life went on rather happily for the stable boy, he loved making her laugh and caring for her. It was his joy to see her happy.
One day she came in singing and dancing, and looked happier than he has seen her before in her life.
The boy knew that something must have happend, so he asked her what had put her in such a good mood.
She told him how her ex-fiance had come to her house the night before, with flowers and a ring, and promised her everlasting love if she took him back. Since she was still in love with him, she accepted.
The poor stable boy did his best to sound happy for her, but inside he was upset because he had been given a second chance and floundered it. The stable boy Loved her so much, that he went to the man whom she loved, and offered his services to him to be thier stable man. So he went to work for the man. The stable boy got to see a different side of the milk maid than he had seen before. She was always smiling and singing, and she was never far from the arm of her fiance. The stable was very pleased to see her so happy, though it made him sad to know that he wasnt the one who was bringing her happiness.
One day the man came in to go out on an afternoon ride. When he came back he had a different woman with him, and they were gigling and laughing together as they rode in on the same horse. The stable boy tired his best to watch what they were doing without looking like he was snooping, and before they left, the man gave this new woman a big kiss.The stable boy becasme furious. He didnt know quite what to do, but he knew he had to do something. He decided to tell the milk maid. So when she came in the next morning, he told her of what he saw.

She refused to believe him. She became angry becasuse she thought the stable boy was trying to ruin her relationship. She yelled at him and threw him out of the stable
The stable boy feeling very dejected, returned to his old farm, and resumed working in thier stable. Nothing could cheer him up. he would just work in the stable everyday, feeding the horses, and shoveling manure

well, sometime later, he heard the stable door open. He looked up and saw the milk maid standing in the doorway. She told him how she found out about hte other woman, and that she left the man and she came back to apologise to the stable boy. The milk maid returned to her old job, and the stable boy was happy again. And so thats how his life was, he would care for the horses, and when she was in his stable, he would care for her too.

Yea, not a great story, and it probably didnt liven up the bolg anyway, but it did lengthen it.
