So, my new job.
There's always a breeze,which is a blessing and a curse and it's absolutely gorgeous. We're centered in an orchard, so there's rows of trees surrounded by soft looking hills, and big blue skies with fluffy clouds.
There is Boyd the bus driver. I order him a Diet Dr Pepper every day. (I was informed I must do this on my first day) and then at some point during the day he leaves a cookie on my desk without saying anything, just a smile and heads off to do bus driver-y things.
My desk has wheels, and is blue, my favorite color.
There are baby birds in a nest right by my desk. I am quite fond of them. Sometimes when it's uber slow I stand and look at them for a wile. They are so small and adorable! Plus there's this one bird that just looks at me, and he has little feathers, and little eyes, and a little beak, and and I love animals.
There are also snakes. I have never seen said snakes, but I know they are around, and have not seen them in the wild yet, but when I do, I know i'll yelp or something.
(Earlier today I screamed because I thought I saw a roach. It was a feather. I'm very easily startled)
My boss is a really nice guy. We have the radio going all day, and "Don't Stop Believing" came on. I was cleaning the display part of the store and he comes out of the office and yells, "Hey! DON"T stop believing, alright?"
He reminds me of some of my managers at Chick Fil A.
I'm starting my second job today! FoodEx, my boss's other company. I will be an oh so glamorous delivery driver. Which is fine my be, because I love driving, and music, and both of them combined is one happy Mally.
I'm also starting volunteer work at Hoffman Hospice. (Pretty much my dream job, only i'm doing it for free for the time being)
It's a six week training program, then i'll volunteer two nights a week.
I'm really looking forward to it! I know it will be a really incredible experience.
And, this is my life right now. Nothing too crazy, just kind of comfortable. =]

Summertime
Technically, I have two finals until summertime.
But I just looked my anthropology notes over once more, and felt glorious. Im sure Philosophy will be great too.
This summer, I want to get a lot accomplished.
Some of them productive, some of them not, but here they are:
1. Eat snow cones.
2. Make snow cones.
3. Record at least one song with Steven Whyte
4. Have a barbecue
5. Swim. A lot.
6. Have a picnic
7. Do something art related
8. Plan on starting my photography biz
9. Start taking piano lessons again
10. Get a "glow." I don't actually want to get a tan. I just want to be slightly less white so that I look like a normal human being.
11. Find a new job.
12. Go camping
13. Go to a concert.
14. Go fishing.
15. Do something volunteer related.
16. Plant some things.
17. Learn how to skateboard/longboard.
18. Finish Dr. Who and Lost. (lol lost)
19. Lay in a hammock.
20. Read good books.
So far, this is what i have. I am terribly excited.

A typical conversation between a Malloty and a Steven
(Over him not letting me pay for my own lunch -.-)
Me: Let me be woman for once and assert my independence!!
Him: Why do you want to be a feminist?
Me: Being independent does not make you a feminist...you are such a man...
Him: If I let you be independent next you'll be asking for rights and suffrage.
Me: =O I'm going to burn my bras at you...

A very eventful birthday
I am now officially 19 which means.....pretty much nothing has changed.
I feel like 20 will be much more dramatic. In fact, i'm kind of already freaking out. 20 is halfway to 40. Which isn't old, but for the next 20 years, i'll be having a career, getting married, having kids... It feels kind of crazy to think about, but I look forward to it.
Disneyland was so amazing. I kind of turn into a 5 year old (Without the screaming and kicking when I get tired)
And so everything was pretty much magical. I went to City Hall and got a Birthday button, and the cast members would wish me happy birthday on rides and stuff. It was really awesome!
On my way to Space Mountain, a Cast Member says "It's your birthday? Here's some bubbles." and shot them out of a gun toward me. Best thing ever,
Even random people in line would wish me a happy birthday.
I've never had that many people wish me a happy birthday like that.
We ate at Ariel's Grotto, which was super fancy. I have never eaten anything that fancy before. And delicious!
We saw the World of Color, and it was the coolest, most amazing and magical thing I have seen in my entire life. Seriously, if you go to Disneyland/California Adventure, you NEED to see that. It's a NEED.
We got to go on Indiana Jones twice in a row, which is pretty much my favorite ride.
We went on Splash Mountain twice, at the end of the day when it was freezing. (I got drenched x. D)
Star Tours is also my favorite ride.
Pretty much everything there is my favorite, and I want to go pretty much every day.
But as some of you heard, on the way back I was in a car accident.
I was asleep when it happened, I woke up because Steven was yelling my name. I could hear the car swerving out of control. I hit my head on the dashboard pretty hard, and I dont really remember when the car came to a stop. Steven kept asking if I was okay, and I kept saying I was fine.
I was really confused as to what was going on, how it happened. I asked what was going to happen, where we were going to go go and he said that his car was really messed up. I looked out the front of the dashboard and could see the front of the hood bent up
We sat there trying to find his phone when I realized how badly my head was in pain. I remember holding my eye because it felt like my whole head was buzzing. Steven hadn't realized I hit my head and asked why I was holding my eye. When I told him he got really really worried. We prayed after we realized how lucky we were.
I noticed his shirt, it was covered in what looked like blood. So then I started freaking out, but it was just hot chocolate.
It turns out Steven had fallen asleep at the wheel, and when he woke up the car was going out of control, and he hit a dirt barrier.
I wasn't wearing my seatbelt.
If the car had flipped, or we had hit anything else other then dirt, there is a strong chance that I would not be sitting here writing it right now.
Which is really insane to think about. My parents are really happy that they're not planning my funeral right now.
It's kind of ironic to think about. Just the day before I had completed my assignment that required me to plan my funeral, write my obituary, write my will.
And it was ironic because we were coming from the happiest place on earth.
Im still so grateful im not in the hospital, or he's not in the hospital.
I got home around 6:30, and started my first day at my new job around 8:30.
Its a really great job. Im so excited for it! I was basically thrown into doing everything, and my boss was really impressed with how quickly I caught on. Which is great because I had been awake for 24 hours straight, and in a car accident, and well you get the picture.
My eye is a little swollen, and im a little sore, but other then that, im completely fine.
Thank you all for the concern and prayers!

People are funny.
People really are funny. In fact, they are pretty hysterical.
I have been thinking about that a lot recently. Mostly reminiscing about some of the stranger customers I got while I worked at Chick Fil A.
One of them that came to mind was a lady that forgot to order no whipped cream on her shake.
I had already put whipped cream on her shake, but I let her know I could easily take it off, or remake it if she wanted me to.
She instructed me to remake it, and told me I had to because she was allergic to dairy.
I informed her that our MILKshakes are dairy based. She said,
"Oh, that's okay. I can have that. I just can't have the whipped cream."
I nodded and remade the shake. To this day I'm still confused.
A lot of people often mistake us for Vitamin Shop, which is right next door, and our drive thru wraps around it. I can kinda see why, but when someone ordered a "Veinte Caramel Frappacino" and Starbucks was a street over, down the street I was a little concerned for the person driving the car.
There was the time where someone gave me 42 pennies, the time someone got out of the car in the Drive Thru and ran away because there was a bug, (she REFUSED to get the bug out, so I walked outside, and around and got it out for her xD)
There was the guy who came every Saturday night around 9:42 that I sang Happy Birthday too, and from then on he was one of my "regular homies"
The time that someone came in and stared at the menu for a solid 7 minutes, and then asked where the burritos were, since we specialize in them, until she realized that Chipolte was on the other side of the parking lot.
The time I got coned.
The time Jake was in dining room and I yelled out, "Austen!" thinking it was him. Austen was actually right behind me at the time, and thought it was hysterical.
These are the things I miss about the job along with a select group of my co-workers. I had 10 different stories to tell every shift. It was seriously a great first job.
but now I have my new job, which I am really super excited for!
In other news, I have become a semi-(not really) professional at the art of salsa making.
I am currently taking a death awareness survey for my Philosophy class, which includes writing my own obituary.
and when I was in Payless, I got sniffed by an entire family.
And 5 page papers are coming out of my ears.
Also, I found out I am going to Disneyland for my birthday on Friday. And I have never been to Disneyland on my actual birthday, and that is really exciting, and I LOOOOVE Disneyland, and and and I can't wait!
