About Me?

The reason why I posted those quotes from the book is because I am a hopeless romantic. Ever read The Great Gatsby? That's me, and unfortunately there is always a tragic ending, no matter how many times you read the book. How sad.

This being my first real blog I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Amy if you hadn't already gotten that from the user name, and I am currently 19 years old. I work at Tops grocery store, and it is not pleasant. Well, no, that's a lie. Some days, with certain people, are very tolerable and almost fun. The days with the other certain people are unbearable. I guess I should mention first that my status at this grocery store is cashier, but I am not a regular cashier. I close, therefore I am a closer. The hours are odd, but it works for me. I usually go in around either 7:30p or 9p and stay until 1a. I love working with the other closers, they are great people. L is always making me laugh, he has such a colorful personality. M and I always gossip, from the boys in our lives to family, and everything in between. P is a little difficult sometimes. She will be laughing and joking with you no problem, but when you ask her to do a task she suddenly has a slight attitude. I don't really think she notices it too much, but from the recieving end, it is very noticable. The closing CSM's are sometimes outrageous, and not in the good way. They like to act like they do so much work, and that their job is so hard. But, in reality, they don't do half their job anyways! Let's face reality people. Stop complaining and just do the work, it's not that hard.

My boyfriends name is Dennis. He's a great guy, very caring and sweet. Because he knew I love to read, he started giving me books! He's given me over three so far, and that's not including the ones that he just let me borrow to read. He says he's an asshole, but I don't see any of it in him. He's amazing with computers, and I know he'll go far in them. He has his own business already! For those of you that need a computer fixed, visit http://k0p.net. He fixes the computer right through the internet, that means no handing your computer over to someone and having to wait to get it back! Also, while he's fixing it, you can chat with him realtime so that you aren't left in the dark. He works construction with his dad, as well. His dad owns his own construction business, so obviously this family has the motivation to get somewhere. That's another thing I really like about him, he has initiative. He doesn't just sit on his ass and say "Yes, I want to achieve this by the time I grow old" and then do nothing to get there. He really is a great guy, and my cat loves him, so I guess that's saying something.

I have one black cat. She's very shy around strangers due to her bad past. She was in a bad home, then we took her in. She has gotten a lot better than when she first came to us, but she still runs to hide behind the couch when someone new walks through the door. She's always following me around, like a dog, begging for treats. And, as a result, she's getting kind of fat. Once she gets comfortable with the person she is a total cuddlemonster.

As I said earlier, I love to read. I constantly have a book, and when I don't, it's because I'm waiting for the next one. I'm hoping to one day have a room in my house declared as the library, with walls lined with books. I hate when people say they hate reading. There is a book out there for everyone, they are just too lazy to find it. Movies are also a favorite past time of mine. I have a very wide genre of books, movies, and music. I just like almost all kinds. I also love drawing and writing, though I haven't done either in a long while. Even though I don't believe myself to be completely horrible at either, I always have a problem showing people my work. I guess it's just too personal sometimes. Photography is another great form of art that I love dearly. I'm hoping to make it a minor in college, when I get the time of course.

Right now I am attending D'Youville College as a Bio Pre-Med major. Having bio as a major is very time consuming. Hopefully I'll eventually get some free time for photography, but if it doesn't happen I'm alright with it. I hope to one day become a forensic pathologist, also known as a medical examiner. These are the people who perform the autopsies on cadavers. Yes, it is kind of morbid. But, morbid suits me well. I've always been very intrigued by how the body works and completes so many processes in so little time. Just think about it for a moment, every time you take a breath your body is taking that air and separating the carbon dioxide and the oxygen and taking the oxygen to your lungs, while you exhale the carbon dioxide. And, every time you get hurt, it takes so many processes for you to feel pain, and realize it's pain. First, you have to get hurt. Then, the signal from the damaged area gets sent through a network of nerves all the way to your brain, where a different signal then gets sent back after being recognized as pain. Not to mention all the processes of the white blood cells moving in on a cut and everything. It's just so amazing how it all works.

The band Aiden is a huge part in my life. I have a tragic past, but that story is for another time, and they helped me get through it tremendously. They are great guys and will always have a place in my heart. I already have two Aiden tattoos and plan on getting more. I have the lead singer, William Francis, signature on my left inner wrist, and the quote "I know that every day's a new day and my dreams will never die" on my upper right forearm, under my inner elbow.

To be honest, I'm not too sure what else to write about me, so that is all. This is who I am and in the words of William Control, "I do not want you to like me."
