I'm writing a book in 30 days. This is why I'll be online even less than usual! <3 National Novel Writing Month. But it's crazy. However, 50k words by the end of November totally seems doable this year right now. Whoo!

Also, I really wish my dad would fix my scanner. |<

So, despite the news being old, I only JUST found out today that a World War Z movie is in the works. If you don't know what WWZ is, it's by the same guy who did the Zombie Survival Guide. Oral history of the zombie war, mmm.
NOW. The movie screenplay was leaked onto the Internet ages ago. HOWEVER, despite my best Googling efforts and despite it having been out for quite a while now, I cannot find it.

Gonna go be emo in tha corner now, kthnx Internet. |<

Go see District 9. Go see it now.
WHY ARE YOU STILL SITTING THERE READING THIS I MEAN SERIOUSLY

So, I went to Crue Fest 2 yestderday. It was Motley Crue, Drowning Pool, Theory of a Deadman, Godsmack, and Charm City Devils. I went with my godmother and her brother, whee. We arrived a little late, so we missed Charm City Devils but s'okay 'cause I've only heard, like, three of their songs anyway. Um.
Drowning Pool played a few songs and they were pretty good. I knew all of 'em, too. Yaaay. Theory of a Deadman played a few songs after them. I only knew two of their songs, so I need to check out more 'cause they're good.
Godsmack. Dear lord, GODSMACK. They were terrific. More than terrific. They played lots of songs and I have to say they're the best band I've heard live. (They used to be my favorite band for a while, by the way.) They also played Whiskey Hangover, a new song from their upcoming album which should be out at the beginning of 2010.
The Crue was good, of course. But they couldn't top Godsmack, no sah.

Got me a Godsmack shirt. I also got a Motley Crue shirt, but they only had it in a medium and uh... it's huge on me. It's okay, I'll find something to do with it soon. Hopefully, anyway. It was the best shirt out of all of the ones in the stands, so I just had to have it. Durp.

Also I started school today. What with getting home at 11:30 at night yesterday, needing to be up at 5 AM, and having songs stuck in my head... Well, I didn't get any sleep at all. But it's okay 'cause I felt fine this morning.

Man though. I just wish Sixx:AM had been with the Crue Fest this year. Oh well, maybe they'll come around again sometime soon or something.

Okay, it's time to bump the previous journal off this page. Feeling much better, yadda yadda yadda.
So what now? Rage, that's what. For absolutely no reason at all, I feel like venting about stuff that makes me want to hit someone every weekend.

Right, so. I work at McDonald's, which is a fast food joint of course. Yes, occasionally someone is sent out to clean up lobby. Wipe down the tables, sweep the floors, make sure there's plenty of lids and straws and whatnot by the drinks machine.

However, that doesn't mean you people should be lazy asses and leave your trash everywhere. We're not your fucking maids, we'd appreciate it if you didn't spill soda on the tables and not do anything about it. We'd appreciate it if you didn't leave sandwich boxes, wrappers, and piles of napkins on the tables or the fucking windowsills. You pass by at least two trashcans on your way to the door; hell, depending on which door you're leaving by, you pass by four. The least you could fucking do is throw your own damn trash away instead of leaving it scattered across the store like the lazy pigs you are.

This isn't an actual restaurant, people! There, you're expected to leave your trash and dirty silverware on the tables, because they have people whose jobs are to clean it up. Fine for them, it doesn't matter. It's not the same for fast food joints. Sure, we're expected to keep the store clean, but if you lot would help, it would be a lot easier and a lot less frustrating.

Oh, and to those of you who like to do stupid shit like throwing pickles on the windows and stuff? Fuck off. While we're at it, if you get food from some other place, eat it there. McDonald's isn't some rest stop for you to carry in take-out Chinese and fling your rice all over the tables and floors without even getting anything from here. And no, you can't just waltz in with an empty 2-liter bottle of soda to fill it with our fountain drinks. And just because we're doing our job and telling you that you can't do that, it doesn't give you the right to chuck your now half-filled bottle in our driveway so that the soda spills everywhere outside. Grow up and stay out of our fucking store.

Oh yeah, one more thing. If you're in the drive-thru and we ask you nicely to pull forward to wait for your food, it's not because we're being dicks. It's because your food is still cooking and will take a minute or two--GASP! THAT MUST BE A LIFETIME!--while we have the food for the cars behind you ready to go. We're supposed to keep the drive-thru moving, supposed to keep our times down so we don't get in trouble with management and all that. When your food is ready, we'll send somebody out to your car to bring it to you; WITH an added apology for the wait. So why do you have to hold up the drive-thru and bitch about wanting a fucking refund for your entire fucking order because we ask you to pull forward? This is fast food, not instant food. Ten-to-one your order isn't going to be ready EXACTLY once you pull up to the window, unless all you're getting is a drink or maybe one sandwhich or something. So would you kindly just pull forward so we can do our damn job?

UGH. MORALE OF THE STORY, KIDS: DON'T WORK AT FAST FOOD. PEOPLE ARE STUPID DOUCHEBAGS WHO WILL MAKE YOUR LIVES MISERABLE THERE IF YOU DO. That is all.
Goddamn.
