| i'm at work right now... at the register at the front of the store. in the back of the store, there is an 11-year-old talking his personal cell phone on speaker-phone. it is so obnoxious that i want to scream. that is all. | | |
| when the internet at your house never allows you to get on xanga, i think you forget that you have one. this is maybe one of the only chances i might get for a while to post... so here it flows -
most of all, i am having a great summer. one of the more grand highlights would have to be finally getting my new bike. other than that, i have had many adventures with friends and family and have kept myself busier than i normally do by going out of town so much, along with working.
there's nothing in my life that i am sad about, except for the fact that summer is almost over and i will be continuing school in around twenty-some days. i have tried hard not to take anything for granted, although, i feel it is somewhat inevitable as you get older.
i do not have enough time to tell you all of my stories... plus, i probably wouldn't write them here anymore, anyway. talking is best. so long, farewell, and thanks for reading today. catch me when i'm there, not here.

| my life hasn't been the same since that blasted ice storm. that was
when my best friend amy told me she was going to get married in may.
now that may is here, and it is a week and a half before she is no
longer amy joelle mathenia. a new name and a new life, i wish her the
best. the worst part is that i haven't written anything out for a toast
for the reception. i am the maid of honor, and i am pretty sure that it
is a duty. i feel like i haven't been an awesome maid of honor anyway.
i am guessing that i'll have something figured out by then. my sister
is also engaged and will be married within the year. this also will be
something different for me. all these weddings and married people have
started to bum me out a little.... but i'm not going to let it get to
me, because i know all is right. other things have contributed to the
fact that my life hasn't been the same, but i think that is part of
this whole life thing anyway... always changing, always growing,
learning... i won't go on about it.
i bought myself a brand spanking new bike with my own money! whoo. it
is so rewarding to get something when you've saved for it for a long
time. it's a little fancy for me, but the color is perfect, and it
rides very well. it's a brown matte painted specialized hardrock sport
mountain bike. woot woot. i haven't given up my old garage sale road
bike, but i am lending it to mandy for the summer while she is still in
springfield.
i have found that my front porch is one of my new favorite places. i
just wish the porch swing was still hung here. they put this weird
siding stuff up on the ceiling and painted the floors. it might be time
for a hammock on the porch if there will be no porch swing. anyway, i
am going to continue ripping music that i got from the library and
enjoy the scattered thunderstorms. i hope you enjoy them too.

| the grapes that i am currently eating are green with a bit of brown and multiple soft spots. this, to me, is the epitome of my existence as a commuter. i'll get to school with either nothing to eat, about 35 cents in change (which means i cannot buy anything within the vending machines), or i'll grab something on my way out of the door that has either been sitting around for too long or simply tastes bad. by the time i am done with classes, i'm so hungry that i'll snack non-stop at work and spend more money than i should on expensive food just so i feel a little satisfaction. i think there is work to be done with my eating habits. i've noticed the downward spin of not taking care of myself every semester since i've been at school. i guess i am better off eating "healthier" snacks than i was before. this whole nutrition thing seems harder than it really is. i cannot recall the last time i went "grocery shopping". (this stuns me, because i work in a grocery store.) i think i just need a better plan or something. the co-ed soccer team that i am on has their first game on thursday night. i am very excited about this. good friends, fun, and lots of exercise. | | |
