| An Update of Sensational Sorts of Solitude |
[Sep. 24th, 2006|10:02 pm] |
I’ve been extremely busy lately. So LJ has gone to the back of my mind. But here’s an update on life. I’m still working at the Footlocker, despite all that has gone on and whatnot with the great lack of hours during the summer when I actually needed them. However, right before school started I actually worked a ton, that whole “back to school rush” thing everyone talks about. And now I’m back to working about -3 hours a week there, which is good, because of my second job.
So, my friend in Nashua, Justin, has this landscaping/lawn care business going on, (hes always been this kind of big entrepreneur ever since I first knew when we were all about five. I miss that so much.) So, well, I basically mow lawns and shit almost everyday after school, he pays me $15/h, which kicks ass. I am responsible for a total of 12 lawns. Last week I got paid $540 in cash!! For working 1 ½ weeks!!! Five friggin 100 dollar bills, I haven’t ever made this much money. It’s a lot of work though, but so worth it.
I’m loving school this year, all my classes are pretty awesome, every class is filled with cool people, and I actually enjoy and am interested in the stuff I’m learning. Well probably except for Hon Precalc, but Jai’s in it too, so it’s kinda better. Hon Physics is really intense, and in AP Lit I’m overwhelmed with reading 110% of the time. Needless to say, school’s been a bit more difficult with all this mowing, but this is just temporary. I’ll be done sometime in mid November, and then I can just lie on my mountain of money and relax. Hahaha
And btw, I loved Homecoming so much! I had fun dancing with everyone. It’s quite sad that it was the first dance I’ve gone to in High School, because it was a ton of fun. Everyone looked very nice. That was a totally awesome day! |

Well, today at the beach was awesome, except it had the suckiest ending imaginable: 1 car totaled, 2 cars damaged, all belonging to my friends.
Here's what I observed. I was driving with Josh in his car, we were folowing behind Andrew and Lyssa's minivans at a regular distance, looking for a place to eat cause we were hungry. It was a nice beach day, I was a little tired, almost falling asleep. Well the next thing I know, we see Andrew slamming on his brakes, I'm thinking "Oh shit! We're gonna hit, theres no way we can stop in time!". Josh slams on the brakes. I see Andrew hit Alyssa's car right before we crash right into his van at like 20 mph. (Now this all happens in like 1/2 a sec). Josh's airbag shoots out, and the car is filled with dust. I'm thinking, "Wow, this sucks total and complete ass." Some guy runs out and asks us if we are ok, I say we're fine. We get out of the car, still coughing from the airbag dust, and look at the carnage. Josh's whole front-end is totally fucked up, and shit is leaking all over the place. Andrew's car is bad, but nothing near as bad as Josh's. Alyssa's car looks fine, just a little bump here and there.
Now we need to look at the bright side, the positive things about the situation. I'm glad my friends are still here, cause the people are much more important than the cars. Many people don't even have cars to drive around. I'm glad noone was seriously injured, it could have been a whole lot worse. Josh will get a new car, it's not the end of the world. And is was an awesome day we had at the beach. It's always good to see something good in situations that really suck.
So we all met at 8 at Holly's sick house, and just spent awhile playing guitar and stuff. I was surprised to see Natedog there, I was like "Yey!!". Then we went to Jenness beach, and had a great time trying to find a parking spot on Saturday, lol, we had to pay $10, damn ripoff. So much fun burying Holly and Lyssa in the sand and drawing their bodies, lol, Holly was like the mother or something and Alyssa was a baby. I enjoyed throwing the frisbee around with everyone on our walk down the beach, and ummm yea, hitting Josh in the back of the head from like 50 feet away. We went swimming in the really cold ocean, James, Lyssa, Holly, and I swam like a mile into the blue waters (OK, I'm exaggerating a little). Everyone got this strange redness on their shoulders and face, hmmm,it looks almost like some sort of burn or something, from the sun. Good times, good times!
AHHHH, yes, today was fun! |

Wow, I need to find another job. I'm just not getting any hours at Footlocker. I haven't even worked in a week and a half. My manager said they had to cut a bunch of people's hours cause the store hasn't been making much money lately and such. So, I'm really dissapointed, I wanted to be workin hard all summer, churning in the dough. But, oh well.
So if you know any place that's hiring, tell me! (I'll say nice things about you if you do) |

UHHHHH, I am so bored today, haven't done anything. The bad thing is that I'm pretty much not doing much the entire week (only working on Fri)..... Boredom is such a strange feeling. My mind burns from a lack of things to do. OMFG, I think I might actually start reading Hamlet or what not for that AP eng next year. Sorry, I been tryin to forget about that evil S word, I hate even thinking about it, cause as much as I can't stand this boredom, I hate its opposite even more.
Well I think I'll just suffer in this terrible state until I find somethin to do.
btw, I guess I better go with the flow (thnx Nate)

I have come to realize that I have problems controlling my anger. I’ll act perfectly fine and happy most of the time, but then something will just completely piss me off and I’ll just explode. The anger stabs at me and penetrates the skin. It flows throughout me, clouding my judgment, and striving to control my every action. This blind rage is an unwelcome poison in my body that refuses to leave unless I totally break something. The unlucky objects in my path of destruction often include: walls, windows, doors, baseball bats, small stuffed animals, and even on some occasions my own brother. It’s really terrible to watch when it happens. Thankfully I am able to keep the monster hidden away, out of sight most of the time. It’s a scary side of me that few people have seen, usually brought on by my parents or something really frickin annoying
The good news is that I don’t get angry very often, because I naturally am a calm, quiet and very controlled person, I consider myself lucky. I’ve also found some beneficial ways to take out my anger when it arrives. Have you ever worked out when you’re incredibly angry? Try it sometime. It really helps when you feel as if you’re punching someone in the face every time you lift up a weight. I also do sprints when I’m incredibly angry, pretending to chase someone so I can smash them in the face with a large hammer. Usually that satisfies my anger pretty well. |

Hello everyone and welcome to my livejournal. Why do I have one, well, I don’t really know. I’m pretty quiet in person, and I like to type. Well, yes, sometimes, you know. . .
Fine, I don’t really like to type, but I’m doing it anyways for no reason in particular. You know, you don’t have to read this if you don’t want to. Yes, In fact, just, just leave now. Okay. These are just some random thoughts put together on paper…. , Virtual Paper, if you will. Things I’ve been thinking about as I move throughout the daily stuff.
Yea my life is pretty good right now. I’m making some good money this summer, Working with my mom and such. When I say “such”, I mean Footlocker. Yes, if you don’t know already, I work in the mall. (shhh, don’t tell anyone, it’s a secret) It’s really nice. I like how I can eat Taco Bell, D’Angelos, Burger King, and Chick’fil A, or a combination of those four (yes, all four), whenever I want. Well, that’s not all I do. I also walk around the mall, looking at stuff I’ll never buy, hitting on hot girls, playing Xbox 360 in Target, FUN! And my job, yes, well, I kinda do whatever the Hell I want. I’m the stock/salesperson of the incredibly small store tucked in the little corner of the grand mall (near Sears, visit me sometime) (btw, why am I talking like I have an audience? This is supposed to be all about me, a journal I think they call it nowadays). Seriously, if you don’t see me just ask for me.
Yea, well, (this is the part in my journal where I act like I’m really depressed, but I’m really not)I feel like my life is slipping away, and I’m not doing anything with it. I’m not spending enough time with people around me. I didn’t really like my classes last year, even though I pretty much got straight A’s the entire year, I felt like they sucked because I only had two classes with people I could actually talk to. I know, It’s because I’m so damn quiet. WHY am I so frickin shy and quiet all the time??? I need to stand up for myself and break out of my impenetrable shell. Uhh. I knew few people who would actually call me up and say, “lets do something tonight.”, or “lets chill”. I had bad fits of depression hit me sometimes like jagged daggers ripping into my skin, but noone would notice because I’m so good at hiding my feelings, unintentionally. Yea, I really need to work on that.
I liked this one girl soooo much, for so long this year, but she didn’t like me nearly as much. I never once told her how I actually felt about her, (she’s an awesome girl, but I’m cool with it now, don’t worry) yet again because I’m so friggin quiet. Speaking of love, This is one of the few times in my life where I haven’t actually liked anyone in particular. It’s great, and oh so terrible at the same time. Good because I won’t be distracted all the time by thinking about a girl, yet bad cause I feel so damn lonely all the time now. But, I’ll live.
Phew, I’m glad I got that out, made me feel better. Well that’s all for now, Im tired after working for 12 hours, I’ll make some entries whenever I FRICKIN FEEL LIKE it! Just leave me alone, gawwwwwd. |
