Chiquita on Checking ID's

So now that I'm 18, I'm starting to notice the perks of being legal. I can buy cigarettes, although I don't smoke so I never have. I could go to the strip club if I wanted to but that's um, weird. I can't say I have any interest in ever going there. Anyways, the reason I'm even talking about this is because I have a friend whose parents work at a bar. They needed extra help last night because it was St. Patrick's Day and it was really busy, so I offered to help them out, and because I am now 18, I was able to.

It was a pretty interesting experience. I worked a 12 hour shift, from two pm to two am. I sat at the door the whole time and checked ID's. It was actually very entertaining because some of the people that go to bars are pretty funny. Also, I got all the free food I wanted. They had brats which were SUPER tasty. I didn't have to wear anything special, and all I had to do was say, "Can I see your ID?" to anyone who didn't look 21. I caught one person who wasn't 21 and I got to get the bouncer to kick em out. Pretty exciting stuff.

I got my job at Lowe's (officially!), so I don't really need a job anymore, but I think I'm going to be working at the bar on the weekends just for some extra cash. I am happy I got the opportunity to work there, because it gets me some experience working in a bar, and that's good because eventually I would like to try my hand at being a bar tender. I'd like to do that during college. So yea... St. Patty's Day was good, I'll keep you updated on my bartending career! haha



PS. Check this song out by one of my favorite bands, the Notwist. They rock.

Chiquita on a bunch of really random stuff that i find pretty funny.

Me: i'll leave one head phone out in case you have anything intelligent to say.
Paige Hagemann: I have everything intelligent to say.

Me: I have really simple humor. Cory had three pennies, and he said "Want three pennies?" just as one fell on the ground, so he goes, "two pennies?" and i laughed. I thought it was really funny.
Paige Hagemann: Hmm. Who's Cory?
Me: My boyfriend.
Paige Hagemann: That's why you thought it was funny.
Me: NO!! It really was funny!
Paige Hagemann: Yeaahhh hormones don't play a role in it at all.

Check this out. Its a half female, half male chicken. Yea. Crazy right. Paige showed it to me. Apparently its supposed to help with research about sexual identity. But Paige says that sexual identity has to do with peoples' hormones, not chromosomes, so that argument doesn't make sense at all. Read about it here if you're confused.

I went to dinner the other night with my grandmother and my mom. When we were leaving, my grandma stumbled when she got up and laughed pretty loud about it. I said to my mom, "I think Grandma's been drinking," to which my grandmother replies, "Well you know I did have that big tall glass of ice cold.... WATER!" Love her.

In case you were wondering, this is one of my favorite cartoons of all time. Another favorite is this one.

You should probably see this video. Anyone remember the llama llama duck song that was emailed to everyone in the world pretty much? Yea, this song reminds me of that.

Guess what!? I found the llama llama duck video. Its right here!
