Since I am really into blog's at all that type of stuff, I enjoy finding and reading others as well. But usually, I never find anyone who talks about something besides events that happen during their day or Quizzes. One friend that does write about things beside the normal wrote a Note on Facebook that simply said: So am I lame for writing these? Or am I real for being me?
I think he's real. When you write blog posts about emotion or other things that mean a lot to you, you find a lot of fakers. Because pretty much everyone understands or knows what you mean, but not a lot of people will admit to that. They say stuff like "why would he put that on the internet?" Like there's some kind of society normal as to what you can put on the Internet, when really, it's completely the opposite. (See YouTube, Porn) I say respect others opinions and don't pretend shit isn't real. I'm interested, what do you guys think about people who post blogs on a personal level? Would you ever write one?

Ghost Story
So I'm not gonna lie, I sort of do believe in the paranormal, but I never thought it would happen to me. I wasn't going to mention it at first, but since it has continued, I have to write about it.
In our room, my roommate and I have heard a girls scream from our window. And it's like a shrilling "I'm getting killed" scream. But it's really quiet. Sometimes you hear it in the afternoon, but it's mostly during the week between midnight and 1am. It sounds like the same girl, but sometimes the screams are different length but it always sounds like they are in the distance. We think that it happens too often and at the same volume to be coincidence. I wonder what that sound is... and what that girl wants if shes real!? It does get a little scary.
Also, my alarm clock that's set up right next to the same window can't recieve any radio channels. It makes the appropriate fuzz sound in between channels, but it just makes a really weird/annoying high pitch sound when you reach anywhere that would be a station. Sometimes you get faint talking around 104FM but that's it. We tried unplugging things around it to see if they were causing the interference but still nothing.
What does this ghost want from us? I'm trying to set my alarm clock so I can wake up on time! We'll just have to see what's revealed so we can lay this ghost to rest..... hopefully.

Potbelly is Downhill.
So on Saturday, all employees of Potbelly are required to go to a mandatory meeting due to "changes in the company". However, I know some people on the inside who have already discussed with me some of the things that will be talked about at the meeting... and it's not looking good for us. After hearing this, I definitely don't plan on returning there for the summer.
Change 1: Sandwiches will be raised from 4.19 to 5 bucks.
This is an awful idea. Our sub rolls are approx 8 inches, so why get one at Potbelly when you can get one almost twice as big for the same price at Subway? But I feel like it wont effect our store that much. Because even with the price raise, we are still the closest and cheapest place to eat in Reston Town Center, we're kinda just taking advantage of that. And ours still taste better.
Change 2: The price of the PB&J sandwich will be lowered to under 4 dollars.
This makes sense, because who wants a PB&J when they can make one at home? Almost no one gets them, so this might help that. The only problem is, the fact that all our sandwiches were the same price made it pretty easy, so now our simple menu board is going to get scrambled with the different prices.
Change 3: Employees no longer get a free meal, and Manager Meals now get downgraded to the Employee Meal deal of 6 bucks per meal.
What the hell! This is the first store I've heard of where regular employees get no discount at all. What are we supposed to do during brakes? Sit there? Use an hours pay a day for a sandwich and a drink? I feel bad for the managers too. Because after the sandwiches hit 5 bucks, 6 bucks wont get them anything but that. People might have to start bringing there own lunches/dinners to work. I'll be interested to see what the people at the meeting who are hearing this for the first time have to say! And I'm sure employees who have worked there for a while will be able to sneak out with a sandwich anyways.
So that's all I know for now, it will be interesting to see if there are any additional changes after the meeting... but it looks like Potbelly is starting to go downhill with the other sandwich companies.
