Police Department Internship Day 2
- Hung out with Dispatchers for a little bit. (Oh. Emm. Gee. It was someone not male. It was a SHE!)
- Went to shooting range with Dare officer K.
- While driving around to the different places we were listening to satellite radio. DOK (dare officer k) kept asking me who sang the songs that were playing. I recognized about none of them. Most of them were like way old though. Apparently I need to learn good music. Each time though I would look at who was singing and I at least heard of the person/bands. Also, the songs that were playing were probably like the least popular song that the band/person wrote. Two of the people I did know were Taylor Swift and Keith Urban. (Yay! for not super old music.)
- DOK asked me what type of music I liked. My thoughts went like this: Britney Spears? Don’t say her I will get told I have horrible taste. Miley Cyrus? Don’t say her I wil be told something about horrible taste, Jonas Brothers? Oh Gawdddd I probably have closer taste to the middle schoolers he was teaching than whatever he considers good. Meg & Dia? They seem safe. I said them. He has never heard of them. & he claims to have good taste in music? What-Ev.
- Also, apparently if you say poppyish it can sound like poppyfish. I don’t know what poppy fish is, but I kind of like the word now. Is there a fish called poppy fish? I should google that. Meh. Maybe not. Don’t really feel like it.
- Ate some Subway.
- A song came on in Subway and he asked who sang it. It sounded familiar and I couldn’t think of his name. He started describing him and I still couldn’t remember his name. I said I knew what he looked like, but I couldn’t remember his name. I described him & I finally remembered. ELVIS! Yup. I forgot about ELVIS! kind of. (Not sure why, but I kind of like spelling his name like that. ELVIS! Ha. Probably not interesting to anyone but me.)
- Went to the high school and an elementary school to talk to people. Was slightly embarrased at the elementary school. Officer told me that I had to tell a joke to a stranger. I told him I couldn’t think of one. The truth was that I thought of one, but the only one I could think of was one I read on the internet about viagra. I didn’t really want to tell that to a stranger or DOK.
- Heard a song by Taylor Swift. I think it was Love Story, but I can’t remember. I think it is better to listen to music that I don’t know, because I usually sing when i’m listening to music and that would have been kind of wierd..
- Went To Kahler Middle School with Dare officer.
- Saw something that I don’t think i’m allowed to talk about. It was kind of totally awesome.
- Played wiffleball with Dare officer and 7th graders.
- Received a blue jolly rancher from a student. Ate it. It was blue. Realized my toungue might be blue. No one said anything. Yay for it just being a blue tongue and not my lips.
- At the end of the day I didn’t seem to get sunburned I thought.
- Got home. Looked in mirror. Nose and chest both sunburned. Nose more. I’m like rudolpoh.
- Realized that some of the stuff in this internship kind of reminds me of middle school. In middle school some of the guys on my bus when they sat next to me or in the seat in front or behind me would make comments about how I talk so much and need to quit talking. Apparently regardless of age certain jokes about quiet people need to be made. I’m pretty sure the middle schoolers and the people today said the exact same thing.
- Based on these last two days I definately need to get over this whole quiet thing. Either that or continue to feel slightly awkward around people. Regardless though I probably will.
Things about me.
Can never remember how to spell words if they have two or more sets of double letters. (Ex: Committee)
I don’t like commenting on sites if no one else has commented yet.
Likes really bad television.
Makes a ton of lists, but almost never crosses anything off of those lists or even use the list.
Prefers stairs to elevators.
Snapple green Tazo tea is the best drink there is.
Two: The number of pets I plan on having sometime in the future.
When I was younger I wouldn’t eat the end (trunk) part of broccoli. I thought you weren’t supposed to. I still don’t eat it sometimes.
When my family or anyone else I know says I am too skinny/need to eat more/ask a bunch of times if i’m eating it just makes me feel worse about myself.
When turning off my phone I turn the sound off and then the phone off.
You could probably use your time a little better.
If you really want to spend so much time complaining about things you don’t like rather than doing things you do like that’s fine I guess.
Forever 21: Whenever I read about this people are complaining about the prices and the cheapness and everything. Last Christmas my mom was shopping there for presents for my sister and me and one of the workers there told her that they had the same clothes as what is at the big ish stores that are at the ends up malls. (Not sure what to call them.) They just put their own label on them. Some of the people said they shop at these big stores instead so I think that is kind of funny. Obviously they don’t know about the private labeling. Ha.
Twitter: Saying “Isn’t Facebook better because it can do more?” is kind of dumb. I have a facebook, but all the changes have made it kind of horrible. Yes it can do more than twitter, but at least on twitter you can tell where everything is and it doesn’t change every single week.
Myspace/Facebook: I just complained about facebook, and I totally understand why people complain about these, but it does make it much easier to keep in touch with people.
Free Condoms
Three of the best latex male condoms on the market are available in the Health Education located on the second floor of the Health Center. Stop by during our regular business hours 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday. The limit is 5 condoms per visit.

That up there was an email I got from healthed at my school. It seemed kind of random. Usually they send out some sort of email about this and other things before spring break. Maybe this is their be safe this summer email?? Also, I like that they have three of the best kinds. Yay, for my school providing the three best condoms available for free.
Dear people on facebook, I don’t believe you.
Sorry, but it’s true. I get a bunch of invites to join different causes. Did you know that if you go to the real website of the cause and not just the facebook application page most of those sites have a place where you can send a group email out to tell people about whatever cause it is? In case you didn’t know that there is. Sure maybe you do think we need to save some animals, or the environment, or a buildings name or something. Maybe people/companies/somebody will look at a facebook page and see a lot of think a certain way. However, in my opinion you should join some groups outside of facebook. Maybe you already do. I don’t know, but if you really want me to join something send me a link to the actual website and not the facebook one.
I think what I am going to start doing when I get an invitation for a cause I am going to go find a website outside of facebook that supports that cause and send a message on facebook to the person that sent me that message. All that can happen is they will either join that website and like it or it will annoy them and they will hopefully quit sending me cause invites. Will people be annoyed or think i’m wierd for it? Maybe. However an invitation to join something outside of facebook for something you sent me first should be good since you obviously care about whatever issue because you joined a group on facebook. Does this whole finding a different website for the causes thing seem kind of silly? Yes, but i’m just thinking that instead of wasting time on causes on facebook i’m wasting time on causes all over the internet. Also, I do think the causes on facebook are good, but I doubt many of the people who join them are actually doing anything besides clicking on the join cause link. I don’t even think they need to donate tons of money to whatever cause it is. I do thikn that they could sign up for an email and learn about some cheap/free things they could do.
If you think I sound obnoxious/preachy/overlyopinionated sorry, but getting a bunch of message things for all the different applications are kind of annoying even the good apps like the cause one.
