Why I Fail At Being A Blogger (Pt. 1)

      I knew I wasn't going to make this a daily thing, but I guess it's nice to have if I just feel like sharing my thoughts. After all, that's what a blog is for right? If not, then apparently I'm in the wrong place.
        I hope you all had a fantastic Halloween to make up for my shitty one! While all you shitheads were out getting free candy I was curled up in my bed dying. Apparently undercooked shrimp doesn't agree with my stomach because I got some god awful food poisoning. Alas, I made up for the lost candy by stealing my brother's and eating a good amount of it. He had gone trick or treating the weekend before, so he had two whole bags filled with it, so he doesn't have any room to bitch about it.        

Onto bigger, better topics we go~!
       Currently (I guess?) I work at the local roller rink. It sounds pretty lame because most people get stuck working in snack bar in skate room, but I made my way up the roller rink hierarchy pretty quick. My first time working at Orbit was very short-lived and ended pretty badly, but after a couple months and some management change, they came up to me and asked if I was interested in working there again. Being the rink rat I am, I accepted without even thinking about it (A year later my mental health is kinda' regretting that decision). I really can't complain about it too much, after all it is one of the best jobs out there for me. 

        Unlike my first time working at Orbit, I didn't spend too much time working snack bar. Soon enough, they decided I belonged on the floor working as a floor guard (A LOT HARDER THAN IT LOOKS OK). Basically I skate around and make sure people aren't killing each other or themselves. It's pretty entertaining watching newer skaters if you are a more advanced skater. It's almost like watching a bunch of monkeys that were put on roller skates as an experiment. Anyways, most of the rules are common sense, but then you always have to have the people who don't have any common sense. In addition to being a skate guard, over the summer I worked in Pro Shop; which dealt with selling and repairing skates. Pretty fun, but I didn't enjoy having my manager hovering over me all the time. Also, in the summer if I wasn't guarding, or working pro shop I was fixing the rentals. While I did it alone most of the time, it was actually pretty fun. But I guess I'm just a nerd like that. 
       Back to the main point~ I worked at Orbit all summer long. I was making GREAT money for being under 18, but the downside to it was that I literally had NO SOCIAL LIFE WHATSOEVER. I was up early, worked all day, then went home and slept. Occasionally I went out with my boyfriend, but that was all I really had time for. Once summer had ended I was pretty burnt out because of spending almost all hours of the day. 
       School started and I went back to normal weekend hours, but I was still burnt out pretty bad. As if to make matters worse, the management and owner decided it would be a fantastic idea to get involved in my personal life (concerning my boyfriend). I won't go into details, but a lot of the stuff they said and did was EXTREMELY ILLEGAL. I gave them three chances after that. It wasn't until recently that they blew their last chance. They actually had the nerve to start talking about the situation behind my back to people who weren't even involved in the matter. Luckily I knew all of the people they decided to share their feelings with. As a senior in high school, homework, college applications, and struggling to deal with an early bird class (A class that starts at the asscrack of dawn. I'm up at 5 every day for it), petty high school drama was the last thing I needed in my life. I made the decision to go in and put in my two week notice. Since I still teach the skate classes up at Orbit I will still be on payroll, but I won't be working any real shifts again until late January or early February. As much as I would love to quit for good, I can't deny how amazing of a job it is for me, so I'm taking a little break. I hope it helps.  

    Anyways, I'm sorry I suck at having a blog other than Tumblr. Who knows, maybe I will get better at it as I go?





Maybe.

Ha! I got first post! Oh wait ... There were only a several thousand before me ...

(While I highly doubt anybody will read this blog, I will start off with formalities anyways ...)



      Anyways, my name is Jasmine. Some people call me Jazz, Jazzy, Twinkle Toes, or Jackass for short. Or you could be a normal human being and call me by MY ACTUAL FREAKING NAME. No matter, I will respond to any of these. 
       Welp, I've never had an actual blog before (I don't count Tumblr), but I'm assuming this is the part where I say a couple of things about myself? Well I'm in my last year of high school, and I've been there long enough to know for a fact that the four years of high school are NOT the best four years of your life. Some beautiful popular kid with tons of great friends, great grades, and an amazing at home life probably said that. In other words, somebody who is FAR from being me. I guess you can say I'm an athletic person. Other than the countless hours I spend in front of my computer watching Netflix or on Tumblr, the rest of those hours are spent as an inline speed skater. I would explain it, but I will save it for a different post on a different day. And when I'm not at a practice, I'm off skating for fun at my local roller rink. (Sounds so 70's&80's right? You would be surprised ...) I can unfortunately say I reside in the Midwest. Yay for bipolar weather! I have two incredibly obnoxious brothers who are both younger than me (EVEN BETTER RIGHT?! Nope.) I also currently have a pretty fantastic boyfriend whom I share the passion of skating with. Finally, as if I wasn't crazy enough already, I also happen to be one of those eccentric fangirls. I watch so many TV shows it should be illegal. However, my top three are Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Sherlock. (Fandom trifecta!) I ship all the ships! But those will also be saved for another post. (As well as my disgust for shipping wars) I watch a lot of other things too, but once again, that's off topic for general information, don't you think? 
       I enjoyed sharing myself to the total 0 of you reading this. However if you are actually reading this, I hope you can stick through the constant bitching and whining of a teenage girl who has hardly anything to do BUT bitch and whine about her life.
