So. Here I am...

   It has been a while since I have posted and many things have happened - some good and some bad.
I started working in October. I make minimum wage working part time in Papa John's. I am fairly happy with this being my first job. I bought a laptop just this weekend.=]
Job Corps has officially screwed all of 75/300 people that are in their program over. The only criteria that they ever discussed with us was good grades and passing a drug test and a TAPE test. Now, we have to have low income, be homeless, have a family member that is disabled, or be a foster child. Therefore, they are throwing 75 of us out of the program and omitting all of our benefits that they promised us, which so happened to be two years of college in any field that I would like, 1200$ upon completion of high school or completion of college (depending what time that you leave the program), 20-50$ every  two weeks, and 100$ every 5-6 months for clothes that look professional.
I have full intentions of suing them for false advertisement, and I'm also thinking that I can get something for them just now kicking me out seems to were 1.) they wasted my time 2.) scholarships and school deadlines are coming to an end to apply for 3.) they had already accepted me into the program and it's their own fault for not double checking to begin with - I was promised those things and I expect to receive them 4.) they told us earlier in the year that we would be receiving only 1 year of college instead of two because of miscommunication and promised that there would be no more problems and that we were in the program for good. So... again. False Advertisement. Not to mention about 60/80 other kids that are being kicked out are also angry and suing them.
I have finals today and tomorrow and a Christmas thing all weekend..
So I am off to study... or to play on facebook. haha.

Love All, Serve All

  I think this video really puts into perspective of how people are being treated. I think that all people should be more considerate of what people are going through and the effect that they are leaving on others lives.
This person was obviously effected badly by those he knew, and those that wouldn't even spend the time to get to know him.

About an Old Post

   In an older post, I said that job corps was interfering with me seeing my brother..  Well it no longer is. I'm going to see him October 22, 2010!! =]

Nostalgic

Nostalgic 1. Of or characterized by nostalgia          2. A person who indulges in nostalgia Nostalgia 1. A bittersweet longing for things, persons, or situations of the past. 2. The condition of being homesick; homesickness. This is my favorite word, because it constantly describes how I've been feeling.

Going Green??

   So, I must admit, I am not a green person. However, I do have ideas on the situation. Such as, there are so many run down buildings that can never be fixed. Why don't the owners tear them down- get rid of the materials and plant grass, flowers, or trees there? It would really help the ecosystem and it would also get unsightly buildings out of here.
   My personal opinion is that the world really will end in 2012. The Earth isn't as cool as it used to be, actually it gets hotter everyday. And I am not just talking about summer, It has been so hot- when since I since been born it has been snowing here in December, now I can wear shorts outside some winters. I think that the world is so polluted and etc. that some of the things that hold this world together are starting to fail. The Bible says that this world will explode into fire in the morning like a lightning strike. That is not the exact words. However, it is close enough for you to get the meaning. What if the lightning strike.. is the sun exploding? And crashing into the Earth? Scientist say that Sun's light could possible go out, like many other stars. But what if Sun's light doesn't go out? What if the Sun explodes?


Any comments welcomed, I would like to have a discussion on this.

Road Rage

   This is something that everyone gets. Something that keeps me somewhat calm is to remember how I used to feel when I first started driving. There are more than a handful of new drivers everyday. I have to admit, I'm still not that great of a driver and that I get nervous easy. However, keeping in mind what makes me nervous and what irritates me helps me drive better. Here are a few of those things.
1. I don't like someone going 20miles under the speed limit. So I try to go the speed limit or only slightly under at all times.
2. I don't like people being on my tail, therefore I don't get on theirs.
3. I would much rather people passing me then riding right behind me the hole time. It makes me less nervous. I haven't mastered going around people unless I have to yet, because changing lanes terrifies me. But I am working on it.

Friken mad >=,[

So, after little sleep last night, I got up to clean the entire house so that my boyfriend could come over later. That includes: washing-drying-folding clothes, taking out the scraps, unloading and loading dish washer, washing some dishes by hand, cleaning out a few cabinets, straightening up the living room, sweeping the hall-living room-dining room-kitchen-and laundry room, taking the garbage out, and cleaning my room. After that I decided I would take a shower.
I can take somewhat long showers, because we never run out of hot water(which I love).
I took a 20min. shower. 
It really was not as long as some days, but when I got out, I notice my cell phone had like 30 missed calls. I looked to see who they were from. Half were from my brother, the others from my mom.
I also had a text message from my mom saying "Where are you at?"
So I decided I would text her first. So I replied saying, "I'm at home, I've been cleaning the house, and just got out of the shower." And she replies, "K, call your brother he needs your help with something." 
So I called my brother. And he was a total cuss word to me. He said, "Where have you been?" And I said "cleaning, I didn't have my cell phone on me". "Well, why didn't you answer the house phone?" "I took a shower" "No you didn't, you can't do both, either you was cleaning or you was taking a shower, I've called 20 times in the last 5 minutes! Where have you been?" "I've been here! I've been cleaning from the time you left til about 20 minutes ago when I got in the shower." "MHM, yeah right, you've been.." "SHUT UP!!" *Click* Yes, I did hang up. Which is not nice, but he wanted my help and all he was doing was criticizing me. I wasn't going to help him, because he felt no need to respect me or the truth, and that makes me more angry that anything. After that I texted him and told him if he could not respect me I would not help him. He has not tried to call or text me back. I guess to my family, I am not worth being respected. They always say I should demand respect from everyone, but when I do from them, I hardly ever get it.

Charles Jerome Pennington

I love this man with everything I have. I want the whole world to know how much I love him, but I guess blogspot will have to be the biggest part of it, because I can not actually proclaim it to the whole world.

The year of 2010 has been full of ups and downs so far, but everything has been okay, because Charlie was by my side for it all.

He means so much  to me.

He is my whole world, not just a piece of it.

When I tell him "I love you" it is not something to just to fill in blank conversation;

it is because there are no better words to describe how I feel about him.

Me and Charlie have been together a little over six months, and it has been a little over a year since we first started talking.

He keeps me interested. ;)

I like that about him.

We carry on very good conversations.

I love him so much!!

Job Corps & etc.

While I am very pleased with this program I am doing, it is really starting to interfere with what I want to do.
My brother is stationed up in VA and there was a chance, me and my twin and one other person could ride up to see him before school starts back, but being in this Job Corps program.. school starts back in a week. =[
I was really looking forward to getting to see him.
On the other hand, maybe I can visit him on our first break or something.
Job Corps is a really great opportunity that I do not want to miss out on, but I do miss my brother.


Also I found my long lost brother today.
No, he is not my actual brother, but I have always thought of him as one.
I met someone named Kori at Job Corps and added her on facebook, and what do you know, Nic had posted on her wall!! It is a small world! =]
I have not been in contact with him for around eight years!
I was so excited!
Still am.
The adventures of Britney, Nic, Brandon, and Cassie can still continue!
I miss the old days!!

Photography

Welp.
Sieff Photography is open for business.. kind of.
I used to take hundreds of pictures, and I would really like to get back into it.
I do not think that I am bad at it, but I must say I am not an expert. I have not been to school
for it, and all I have is a wal-mart digital camera. Which cost between $400 and$600, so it is still a very good camera.
If anyone wants photography done for them I will do it for free, anywhere between Boaz and Gadsden, Alabama.
I can not print it. I used to have a printer set up and picture paper, but once my old computer crashed, we never hooked the printer up to this computer. However, I can edit the pictures and send them to you and/or post them on here/facebook/myspace to get them.


Here are some pictures I have done in the past.

Once a Fairytale

I have started on my novel "Once a Fairytale" the link to it is to the right of this post.
Check it out when you get the chance. =]

Summer Workout Program

I am trying to tone my body up for summer, I know I am not fat. However, you can not see my muscles, I do have a bit of belly pudge that I would like to work out.
I know some others are trying to work off their pudges too. So, I am going to post my workout plans, in hopes that it may help others also. http://www.bodyrock.tv is an absolutely wonderful website I have found. It has daily workouts and help, not to mention it is completely free. 
It is very important for all of those that want to work out-not to be exactly routine and not to procrastinate. It will only hurt yourself. I suggest working out every other day to give your muscles time to rebuild. And also to not do the exact same exercises longer than a two or three weeks or your body will become used to it and it will no longer be a beneficial workout. Swap it up.
Good luck and wish me some!!

Jobs & Careers

I believe that the difference in between a job and a career is that a job is something you have to do to get by or to earn what you need. It may not always be what you want to do, or be the cleanest work place out there. A career, however, is what you choose to do. It has qualities that you look for and the facilities that meet your standards. With the economy like it is, and me living in a small community and having no previous work experience, I find it impossible to get a job. I have put in an application in over twenty different places, and have not received even one call. I have also contacted several of them, and never had a confirmed interview. This upsets me because I really need the money to go towards future things. Such as a place to live, college, car, and bills, it is not like I would be blowing it all-I need it in savings now, so I will have it when I graduate this coming May. This is very upsetting. =[

Hair-bows and Circulation

Apparently some children were not smart enough to take a hair-bow off of their wrist before their circulation was cut off, and therefore, loosing their hands. I normally have a Lime Green hair-bow I wear around my wrist. Well, since my mom found out about the wonderful news, I am no longer allowed to wear a hair-bow around my wrist for the fear that I will loose one of my hands.


So, to the idiots out there who lost body parts to stupid stunts such as not taking off a hair-bow when your hand turns purple, THANKS!!!

So..

I am new to the blog world,

but give me a while to get all set up! =]

And I will be moving right along with it!!
