On the bright side, I got my first paycheck. :D
I had my first really TOTALLY AWESOME BEAUTIFUL SHINY STRESSFUL LAWL restaurant experience tonight. I like to call this experience: Three parties and a full restaurant with only three servers, one busser and three cooks, by the way many of the customers are going to be jerks tonight. Like- when I bussed on New Years? It was busier, but this was 10340980 times more hectic since we were understaffed to the max and I couldn't find the Amaretto (nothing like getting five cocktail orders at once, and you've never made a single one! :D).
All in all, it's still more rewarding than Call Center work. :P Only, I really almost cried when- after I was done mopping and was on my way to punch out for the night- I found one hundred glasses on the bar counter waiting to be washed. And I'm not exaggerating. It was literally one hundred glasses. From the party room: fourty eight water glasses, fourty eight drink glasses and assorted liquor cups. sdfkjhaselkjf
It would have been worth it if the party that had taken up the entirety of section 7 had actually tipped. YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. THIRTY SIX PEOPLE, AND NONE OF THEM LEFT A TIP. Bitch plz, your service was not *that bad*. I was totally standing there watching you the whole time- it SO did not take an hour for your food to get there. It was fourty minutes at worst.
THAT OUT OF THE WAY, I mugged
rampant_geekery in the lj alley last night and stole all the memes out of her pocket:
1. My username is _____ because ____.
2. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
3. My subtitle is ____ because ____.
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.
1. My username iscephiedvariable because I like astronomy. A Cepheid Variable is a pulsating star, and astronomers use them as a start point for triangulation when they measure the distances between celestial objects (I used to know how to do triangulation, lawl). It's spelt wrong because 
cepheidvariable was already a community when I first signed up for lj. I just got used to spelling it that way. ^__^;; Cephied Variable has been my screen name for about six years, and it's also my stage name when I busk.
2. My journal is titled The Inkwell because I'm a writer and I like Inkwells.
3. My subtitle is "If You Can't Fight, Wear a Big Hat". It's a Spanish proverb that applies to me sixteen fold (what with the way I'm a wuss and wear ridiculous hats). One of my friends recited it to me years ago. I'm fairly certain it was Dawn. Failing that, it was Rebecca or Gregory.
4. My friends page is called: "My Posse, yo" because my rl friends? We call ourselves "The Posse". It's kind of like a CULT, but Rebecca likes to call it "the smallest subculture on the planet". Because we're all full of ourselves and stuff (plus we did that test in Sociology class in gr. 11 and the group TOTALLY met all the requirements of an independent subculture). We started calling ourselves "The Posse" back in seventh grade because Leslie and I were both playing FFVIII at the same time and thought it was hilariously lame how Rajin called the Disciplinary Commity a "posse". It was a joke, but then the next year we met Rebecca and somehow she made the title MEAN something. I honestly can't believe it's stuck for nearly a decade. That's either a testament to how awesome we are, or how lame we are.
Either way, short story long: "Posse" means REAL AND TRUE friendship to me, and I couldn't think of anything else to title my friends page as. The "yo" gets tacked on because I like to talk in faux gangsta speak. Adverb to the proNOUN, bitches.
5. My deault userpic is:
Because I'm sexy and good looking and vain and want everyone to know how sexy and good looking I am. Seriously, I am WAY too good looking for the internet. In fact, I'm too sexy for that avatar. Damn! D: D: D: D:
Look at your LJ userpics list. If you have fewer than 50 icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five icons, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, what significance does it have.
It's always useful to have a hugging icon, although in retrospect it's not exactly comforting to be hugged by Black Mage. It means either you've done something evil, or something evil is about to be done to you.
It's Kisame and he's awesome. I made this 10002983 years ago when my iconing skillz were something like FAIL to the power of SUCK, so I keep meaning to remake it. But in the meantime, I don't have the heart to get rid of the original since Kisame is ♥.
I love the Alien endings for the Silent Hill games SO hard. SH2's is my favorite, though, because: they get the "lol, Harry and James are so redundant" joke in there AND manage to show the beautiful partnership between Harry and the aliens when they team up to abduct James. Who's lame and does nothing to help himself. I like how in SH3, the aliens and James are living in Harry and Heather's apartment.
I love Darkwing Duck, and I love his formula.
I don't know why, but this is one of my favorite lines from South Park ever. Everytime I watch that episode, I just crack up inexplicably. Just: "If you don't want people calling you Nancy..." Plus, it's an obligatory: "INTERNET SRS BZNS" avatar.
The moment I was aware of that trailer, I made this avatar. Delita is my favorite Final Fantasy character ever, and even though it's a little wonkily translated, I love that line kind of passionately.
"There was a hole here, it's gone now" is one of the most famous and inexplicable sights in Silent. Hill. Like, just. WTF. Is it sexual LIKE THE REST OF SH2? Does it have some fucked up plot relevance I'm missing because I didn't see the end of the Maria mission in the SH2 re-release? Is it just expressing James' sorrow at not having another hole to jump through? Either way, the phrase is kind of all purpose. My friends have been known to exclaim things like: "THERE WAS A COOKIE HERE. IT'S GONE NOW" ad nasuem. But it never gets old.
Orochimaru was such a cute kid, it should be illegal.
I said this for some reason on the bus one day and Leslie thought that it should be immortalized. Or something. She wanted to see it written on a Church sign. And then I found a church sign generator and all was well.
It's Julie-Su, and she isn't going to take anymore of this foolishness! :O
Oh God, that scene? Where Will sticks a sword in Davy Jones and he just goes: "Did ye' forget? I'm a heartless wretch." just made me go: "sdlkfhalskjf T____T". It's so full of self loathing. But, it's, like "I'm making FUN OF MYSELF" self loathing and just. Guh. Ouch. Pain. Davy Jones entire character is pretty much summed up in the way he said that one line.
that's the last time I ever say this on the way to work: "gee, I hope it's REALLY BUSY tonight!"
