It’s been a while
Every time I go to post lately, I get distracted. Usually it’s by shiny objects, and once or twice an alien ship flew by the window and I just had to go and investigate. But I’ve been desperate to post so I’ve closed the blinds and hidden away in the family room. No aliens will find me today, and the sun can’t hit shiny objects so hopefully I will not be distracted.
I learned a few days ago who they hired to be the summer students at the recreational group. Am I surprised they screwed me over? Not really. I’m hurt through. After receiving the email that claimed due to policies and procedures they could not hire me this summer as I had not been in school for the past 4 months, I felt something was fishy. Firstly, you have to read the policies and procedures when you get hired. I never once read any such policy or procedure. The only policy and procedure they had on college/university students was that they must attend school in the fall, which I will be doing. Nothing about attending or not attending school beforehand. In fact, one employee last year had taken a year off. She was given a job because she was attending school in the fall.
One policy and procedure I did read about was how they didn’t hire people who were dating due to work drama. Guess what they did this summer? Hired two students who have been dating for about a year or 2. All of the members and volunteers alike know that they are dating. I wasn’t allowed to be in the same group as NSN during one of the day trips “because we were dating and it was ethically incorrect”, yet they are allowed to work together? How does this work?
Mom says not to let it get to me…considering I didn’t really want the job in the first place. But truthfully, I did want the job. I love the members, I love the work. Sure, I hated the board and the stupid expectations they had about everything remaining the same…but whatever. I only pretended to not want the job because I had a feeling that they would screw me over in the end, just like the old program director - and my friend - warned me that they would. He knew for some time they were planning on not hiring me…which is why he advised me to look elsewhere. But stupid me was convinced that they would give me a job, since I had some sort of seniority over the other people who may apply because I worked there last summer. I didn’t really expect them to go out of their way to find reasons why not to hire me.
Am I jealous? Yes. Extremely jealous. I have never been treated the same way that those two people they hired (who are dating) have been treated. Ever. I wasn’t allowed to be on the same bus as NSN (not that I mind now), meanwhile they were allowed to be on the same bus and they’re allowed to work together. How is this fair? Plus everybody talks about how amazing they both are, and sure…they’re cool people, but they aren’t holy grails. In fact I don’t like how she treats other females - especially me. And I don’t think that being arrogant should mean you’re smart.
I don’t know. I guess I’m just feeling betrayed now. And since Fuzz told me that they were all talking about how I think it’s a conspiracy, I’m even more mad. I don’t think its a conspiracy at all, I know that the board members thought I was lazy because of that weekend I couldn’t leave my tent due to the rain and dampness. I know that the board members thought I couldn’t “handle direction” because of the joking nature that the old program director and I had. There is no conspiracy there, just one petty person deciding to make me look bad because I was friends with someone she didn’t like.
Not to mention, I haven’t received any emails from anybody. If I was a summer students, emails would be going out on a daily basis in a friendly way to everyone, just like last year. And they wonder why they don’t have any volunteers.

Craptastic
Yes I know people, craptastic isn’t actually a word. But it could be…one never knows. I didn’t know “double double” was considered to be a proper definition of something in the Canadian dictionary, but it is. Stranger things have happened.
Anyways, I’m in a craptastic mood today. I’m trying to figure out just what the hell I’m going to do. I don’t qualify for the Business program because I don’t have grade 12 math. Or grade 11 math. I even called my old high school to see if I could go to summer school and get the credits. I wouldn’t have them both by September, so business is out.
I’ve now accepted the Journalism program but am currently waitlisted. I also applied for the Office Admin program - the same program Kate took - for the February start…so we’ll see how that goes.
I’m just totally frustrated. Why couldn’t I have been all indecisive and such months ago when all the deadlines were for programs? Hmm?
I’m basically going to end up pissing people off. If I take Journalism, my family members will be concerned that I won’t find a good job. If I take Office Admin, then I don’t start until February and people will be concerned that I won’t end up going.
For the record, I do want to go to school. I just want to go for the right thing. Not that I know what that is.
I’m working on my novel. My dream job is to still be a writer, and it will always be my dream job. I’m actually doing pretty well with staying on top of it. I write a bit more each day 
I’m still afraid to put up any samples though. I’m terrified of it falling into the wrong hands and getting stolen and then published. Now that would suck. I’m also wary of it getting chewed to shit.
Maybe one day I’ll post a sample. For now though, I’ll just pretend I’m working on the Great North American novel…

It’s been a while since I’ve gushed, hasn’t it?
Yep - be prepared for another one of those posts, where I gush about things because I can. I’m at home, bored out of my mind, and missing lots of people. The main person I miss is Booth, then I miss my friends whom I haven’t seen in a while.
Later on today, I have a re-interview with the rec group. Since Gravy quit and Berrie started, they want to re-interview everyone who had an interview so far, just so Berrie can sit in and get to know each potential. I already know that they aren’t planning on hiring me, so really I’ve got nothing to lose. I’m going to go in there, dressed up as me (in my new hot pink dress, black leggings, and black and white blazer). I’m not going to bother taking out my lip ring because it’s just too much work, and when they ask me if I’ve ever had any work dramas and how I dealt with them, I’ll say this:
Yes I’ve had work dramas, who hasn’t? Mine has been…on going really. A couple of co-workers thought that because I didn’t participate in the heavy lifting aspects of the job such as loading the van and taking down heavy dinning room tents at camping weekends, that I was lazy. This was hurtful because I am far from lazy; my physical abilities may differ from other people, but that does not mean that I didn’t work as hard as the other summer students. I believe I worked slightly harder, doing all the undesirable jobs because I knew that I couldn’t help out as much physically. This one is tough to solve because you can’t really force people to smarten up and change their opinions, so I had to grin and bear it and do what I do best; which is be me, and do all that I can do to ensure the members are having a good time. One would think that because of the organization we are a part of, people would not have these assumptions and would be more understanding towards employees/volunteers with physical disabilities. Sometimes, people are petty because they are jealous, I suppose they were wrongfully jealous of me because of all the potential I have. In those kinds of instances though, all you can really do is smile and keep doing what you’re doing.
Sure, I probably won’t say that word for word, but its a pretty little essay isn’t it? I sort of hope that all of the board members who this is directed at are sitting in on the interview, just like last time. If they are, I fully plan on looking them directly in the face. This one Board Member that I speak of was overheard by a group of my friend volunteers talking about how I was lazy and how I started events before all the members got there. Lets keep in mind that this was my first year on the job, I still had a lot to learn and nobody to teach me because old volunteers and the other summer students all had an issue with me, thinking that I was less then they were because I didn’t go to set ups and load the van.
Whatever.
I’m slightly amused right now, because I started this post feeling like all I would be doing is gushing about Booth, and now it’s turned into a rant about the rec group!
I’ll gush later

Tough.
Yesterday I attempted to fit in like four days worth of stuff that happened to me, as I was MIA for those days…but I didn’t quite get everything down that I had wanted to blog about, since I was attempting to write it before Booth got back in the computer room. Like I said, I don’t like anybody reading over my shoulder while I write. Hate it. Even my boo can’t read over my shoulder, he has to wait until I hit publish just like everyone else. Booth doesn’t read my blog…he has no reason to really, I already tell him everything that goes through my head (well almost) and I’m sure he just wants a break from my complaining so that’s why he never visits
Anyways, this weekend was full of drama. Friday is when it all started…with Booth’s friend Bearded1. Booth was setting up for Ears to do a tattoo on Dragon, so Bearded1 and I were sitting out by the fire drinking my Malibu rum. Before Booth had gone in to set up for the tattoo, I was joking around with him about taking his pack of smokes off him - to prevent him from chain smoking. I said this because he and I were discussing the fact that he barely has the cash flow to be spending on smokes and would like to quit, or at least wean off. After Booth went inside, Bearded1 told me that “not to be rude, but I find you a little annoying at times because you suck all the fun out of Booth. You’re a fun sucker.” When I denied it, Bearded1 told me that it was indeed true and that Booth wasn’t as fun when I am around. This really hurt my feelings, I mean who likes being called a fun sucker? Definitely not me. So not even an hour later I ended up dipping out and going back to Booth’s house on my own because Bearded1 had made me feel like dirt.
Booth (who had to stay because of the tattoo and he wanted to chill with everyone for a bit) and Bearded1 were walking home later when apparently Bearded1 was talking about how Booth should be spending more time with Dragon without me there because she needs it, and this pissed Booth off a bit because Dragon likes it when I’m there - I help out and she can talk to me.
The next day Dragon was talking to him about what he said to me while Booth and I were inside, he was again setting up for a tattoo and I was on the computer. Bearded1 was spewing stuff about how I’m exactly like a certain unmentionable ex-girlfriend (who was like insane and crazy) only way hotter. He said a lot of other stuff about me, which Dragon wouldn’t repeat because she didn’t want to upset me (this upset me enough as is). Dragon told him to stop talking about me like that (because she likes me and respects me) and then went inside. She didn’t tell us what he said until the next day (which was Sunday). Saturday night (the same night as when Bearded1 was talking shit about me to Dragon) Booth took him aside and asked him to apologize to me because what he said was rude and completely not true. Bearded1 wouldn’t apologize because “it’s not the first time or last time he’s going to offend me”. Booth basically said “well if you aren’t going to apologize to her, or treat her with respect and stop making her feel like shit, we can’t hang out”. Then Bearded1 left and Booth refused to talk to him.
I’m upset. Yes, Bearded1 was saying all this shit purely out of jealousy. He does not like it that Booth is happy, and has a girlfriend who makes him happy. Therefore, Booth isn’t going to put up with it. I still feel insanely bad, but Booth tells me not to worry about it…because if Bearded1 was really a friend, he wouldn’t be this jealous over Booth’s happiness and he would take the time to get to know me. He hasn’t though, and he talks shit about me saying I’m one way when I’m really not. Booth is pissed that it’s upset me though, and I’m pissed that I’ve ruined their friendship. Yes, I know…technically Bearded1 ruined it by being an asshole…but I still feel bad.
So ya, that was some of the drama. I don’t want to talk about the other drama because ya, I just don’t want to.
In other news, I got to check out the car that Ears might be selling me. The inside and under the hood is awesome, it’s got a bit of service rust which Ears and Bear are taking care of this week. Soon I’ll be pimpin’! HAHA!
Anyways, I’m watching Mad Money with my mom and Josephine…it’s actually really good so far anyway.

Looky Looky, I’ve been playing blog hooky!
I have no idea if that’s how you actually spell hooky but just pretend I spelt it right if I didn’t, okay? No mentions on how I should spell check my posts…I’m trying to learn how to spell without help of spell check (which isn’t always right away).
So like the title of this post suggests, I’ve been playing hooky for a couple of days from my blog and dear readers. I really have just gotten busy and not really been around the computer, plus I’m also at Booth’s for the weekend. Needless to say there are tons of things to write about today (if I have time, Booth is in the shower for the moment but the second he gets out he’ll be hoovering over top and trying to see what I’m doing - which is why I don’t blog at his house…as boyfriends, as a rule, can’t read content unless I show them the posts they can read and then immediately clear the web history). I’m all secretive like that yo!
So ya, first on the agenda (to blog about that is) is the super awesome new design that my super amazing cousin Karen did (like 2 days ago) that I love love love! I do like it better then the other design, although I loved that one too. Purple is my all time favourite colour, so whoot!
Next on the agenda is I spoke to the old Program Director of the rec group, you know…the one that suddenly quit and all that. He’s one of my good friends and stuff, so I was confused as to all the sudden changes. Anyway, I found out that because we are friends and the board of directors or whatever butted heads with him so much, they aren’t planning on hiring me. They told him (when he was still working there) that I can’t follow direction and didn’t work as hard as the other students. This really pisses me off because I followed direction better then anyone else working there, and I worked just as hard - if not harder. Yes, I know I couldn’t do camp set ups because I wasn’t physically able, but I did a hell of a lot more work in the office then any of the other summer students.
So the past few days I’ve been busy job hunting. I blew the interview at Blockbusters hard core so I definitely won’t be working there. While the story is funny, it’s kind of frustrating [to me] but I’ll share it anyway. So it was a group interview that I went to with my sister Kate. There were 3 other people being interviewed at the same time as us, and my friend who happens to work there was sitting in on the interview. So I was insanely nervous. I’ve never had to “audition” for a job before. Ever. I screwed up majorly on two of the interview questions, which where: Tell us a story you have of working with a difficult costumer? and Quote a line from a movie.
I just so happened to spill the beans on the one horrible costumer I had a few times during my era as a Timmies Hoe. He was an elderly man who I had two run ins with. The first one was when I was in the little Timmies in the gas station, he came in and demanded I put milk in his coffee - right after the cream exploded all over the ground (which I was trying to clean up) and after I had already explained to him that I ran out of milk. He couldn’t understand why I couldn’t just go over to the other Tims and get some milk for him, and since I was the only Tim Hortons employee in the kiosk, I couldn’t leave. I tried to explain to him why I couldn’t leave but he was such an asshat that I told him to go inside if he really wanted milk. This pissed him off and he left in a huff. Then about a month later, I saw him inside. I had just taken over the till for someone to go on their break, and his line up was huge because he was absolutely slow. So I decided to speed things along and cut a couple unneccesary words from the greeting - in a non-rude way. He got pissed because I didn’t say please when I told him the total. Don’t forget I was like 15 and it was my first job, and I had never heard of this “$7.90 please” stuff before. I never had said it before and nobody had ever gotten upset with me before. He flipped though, and said that he was going to teach me some manors because all “fast food employees” didn’t have them. I got angry with him and told him that if he didn’t like the service, don’t come back. He didn’t…as far as I know. Anyways ya, that was the story I told them. Clearly not the best one, since Blockbusters follows the costumer is always right policy.
Oh but it gets worse, far worse.
Guess what movie quote I came up with? Out of all the movies in the world, I just had to pick this line. I honestly couldn’t think of anything else, my mind was blank. And before I said it I asked if we had to keep it PG or if swearing was ok (since its a quote). They said we were all old enough to be cool with swearing and allowed it. So I said, with my face red because I hate swearing near authority figures…
Get these mother f**king snakes off my mother f**king plane.
Yep, you should have seen everyone’s jaw hit the floor. They all laughed afterwards mind you, but…still. Talk about a disaster. Now that I never want to enter another Blockbusters again…
So ya. I’m jobless at the moment, and still hunting.

Society is Narrow Minded
So it’s crunch time folks; and I’m desperately scrambling to find a job. I was counting on that rec group, but they are yanking my chains too much. The old Program Manager and good friend of mine randomly resigned from the job, abruptly too - and then deleted everyone rec group related from his Facebook, email and cell phone and told me to stop talking to him. So I’m more then a little pissed off, since I thought he was a friend. They have someone temporarily filling in that position, but because he left in such a hurry in the middle of interviewing potential summer students, the fill-in person wants to re-do all of the interviews that have already happened. Mine was rescheduled to May 20th, which is now only a week away but still it should take another 2 weeks for them to make up their minds after that. It’s crazy there right now and I don’t really want to board that train, if you know what I mean. Last year things weren’t nearly has hectic and it was still an insanely stressful, tense job. I was in tears more than any job I’ve had before.
So needless to say, I’m looking elsewhere. I’m applying at crap places, like gas stations and Tim Hortons. I’m working hard on getting my license and a set of wheels because then I have more variety in where I work. I can get a job in retail opposed to fast food (which I hate). I have no idea how I’ll feel about retail since I’ve never had a job in retail (the nearest mall is 20 minutes away). Thinking about working at the mall though…there is a really wicked punk/goth/emo clothing store in the mall that would be awesome to work at…I’d get discounts on cool clothes, shoes, boots, and body piercings. Woot woot!
Anyways I slightly veered off topic so I apologize. I’m desperate for a job, and although I would love to get one in my field of choice (human care/resources or whatever you want to call it) I will take a crappy retail job or even coffee shop job because I desperately need money. If I get this car, I need to afford gas money and insurance (insurance will be cheap because it’s 16 years old and what not, but still).
I don’t regret what I’ve “done to myself” at all, but I am very annoyed with society for being so narrow minded. Piercings and tattoos have been around for centuries, and they aren’t unprofessional looking at all (in my opinion). Obviously, if I get a job in a group home, I won’t be wearing the hoop in my lip, as it can be used against me in a violent interaction. I can wear a stud though. My nose ring wasn’t an issue at the other group home because it is a tiny diamond stud. Everybody has their ears pierced, so that’s no big. I feel sorry for the people in the world with tattoos who can’t get jobs at say McDonalds because they don’t want their employees having visible tattoos. Why not? I mean…I have scars all over my arms, and I could still work in fast food having them because they can’t discriminate against me for having a medical disability. Tattoos are [generally] tasteful and interesting, and nobody that I know really has an issue with them (except for older generations who are “set in their ways”).
Booth and Bearded1 were talking about this kind of thing the other day. They were talking about how when our generation gets into power roles (like being president etc) things are going to drastically change. I think that the future will be slightly more accepting, I mean look at today’s youth. I know a lot of it has failed and turned into gangsta hoes and stuff like that, but I believe there are a lot of people out there who see things in a different view because that’s how we’ve all been brought up. To us, piercings and tattoos are not horrible, unprofessional things…they are expressions people wish to make. I like my piercings because I think they look good, and I love looking at people’s tattoos and finding out the stories and meaning behind them. I don’t think it’s unattractive…the only thing I slightly don’t like is the whole spacers in the ears things, because seeing right through someone’s lobe creeps me out. I don’t mind them though; and I believe it’s a person’s own personal decision so power to them.
But right now, there are limitations for where I can work. I don’t want to remove my lip ring and nose ring because I like them; and my lip ring isn’t fully healed yet and getting my nose ring out would be a bitch because it’s like a cork screw. I can’t work at McDonalds (not that I’d want to…the local one sucks at scheduling people properly) and many other fast food places…so I guess my best opinion is group home (you can’t tell me I wouldn’t get hired when I know someone with sleeves (which is a tattoo from the shoulder to the wrist) and several piercings who manages most of the group homes in this area) or at that punk/goth/emo store at the mall.
I just wish society wasn’t so narrow minded!

In My PERSONAL Opinion;
*Just a warning, this post is going to be VERY long and I’m probably going to be rambling on a lot in it cause I have a lot on my mind, but deal with it
~*~*~
Well that was a spectacular weekend! No really, it was…I’m not being sarcastic. Well…maybe a little, there were some tiny parts to it that were slightly frustrating and annoying, but in my opinion each day can not go by perfectly. Something always has to happen, big or small, to make you go “grr”.
Anywho, I was home briefly yesterday for mother’s day, but didn’t have enough time to write a decent post. I just wanted to update quickly. As I write this, I’m trying to load my gmail to see if anybody has contacted me about the password for this hear post. If you haven’t yet, you should get on that and contact me. I fixed the contact page again so now it should be working just fine and dandy. Nobody will be denied the password; unless I don’t want you reading it…then maybe. But ya, try anyway
Oopps I’m sort of getting off topic a bit. I wanted to go in to detail about my weekend since I haven’t had a chance to do that yet. I spent most of it with Booth and our mutual awesome friends, hanging out and just having a grand old time. Dragon’s granddaughter (or something like that) came over with her boyfriend, who just so happens to be another one of the tattoo artists. We’ll call him…Ears. Because he has those spacer things in his ears and I find I’m often drawn to it because honestly, spacers freak me out…just a little. But ya, Ears is an awesome guy and he’s really cool except for having scary ears. His girlfriend is pretty nice too (for the most part, she can be bitchy and weird but meh what girls aren’t?) and guess what? They might be selling me their second car (that neither of them use because Ears has an awesome souped (is that how you spell it?) car that he drives and his girlfriend doesn’t have her license)!
It’s a white 1990 4 door Honda Accord Ya I know, it’s like a year younger than me (literally) but Ears takes really good care of his cars, and it does need some work, but I just so happen to know like 4 guys who are obsessed with all things cars and definitely know their cars, (Booth, Bear, T, and Ears) who offered to do the work on it for free, if I get the parts. The price is definitely right on it and the only thing “wrong” with it is that it needs a new exhaust, front to back. Yeah I know, that can be pricey if I plan on taking it to a mechanic but Ears has a cousin who works in a shop that could get me the parts for discount (if I go through Ears to get them). So woop woop! I might very well have a car in the next couple of months! I’m just waiting to hear back from the insurance company with my quote. Isn’t this exciting? It is to me
And my mom has been letting me drive more often lately! Last night I drove back to Booth’s house, and today I drove home from Booth’s house. I feel way more comfortable driving now then I did half a year ago, and Mom even said that I’ve improved Yes, I still make mistakes but I literally haven’t even had a full hours worth of driving…yet. I’m getting there, and this Friday I start my in car lessons with Young Drivers. I’m both excited and a wee bit nervous about it, I hope my instructor is cool and calm. I hate it when people freak out at me for making mistakes; that’s not how you deal with mistakes. Someone freaking out with me just startles me, and that’s never a good thing.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately, about a lot of different things. One of the things I’ve been thinking about lately is maturity. I think that I have grown a lot in the past 3 months alone, I mean I wouldn’t even get behind the wheel to drive - which is why it has taken me so long to get my license on the go. I’m also thinking about some people that I know and the vulgarities that constantly surround them. I’m basically cleaning out my closet, so to speak, so that I can move on because I don’t want to be stuck with any labels that aren’t in a good light. I’ve noticed that I do tend to get annoyed with people who, in my opinion, act a little over the top. It blows my mind that people have such a hard time covering up, or speaking without swearing in conversation. Ten years from now, I want to be able to look back on myself and think “ya, I had fun…but I didn’t over do it.” I know many people who aren’t going to be able to say that.
Oh well though, I guess I just have to accept the fact that the majority of today’s youth are flossies and skanks who show off way to much of their body due to several self esteem issues.
Ok, I think I shall end this rant now since it is quite long enough as it is

Awkward Turtle
Well folks it’s bright and early at the home stead…and by bright and early, of course I mean dark and VERY early. I can’t sleep because I got used to someone else’s sleeping pattern. *Cough* Booth *Cough*. So here I sit, at my computer, bored out of my mind and feeling tired but unable to sleep because I just can’t.
I have a big day ahead of me too. I’m supposed to be getting a *insert secret word* done today, and I have my final driver’s ed class…and around noon NSN is supposed to be dropping off the first installment of the money he owes me. I’m not holding my breath for him to show up, because so many times he has bailed on me. Although I did talk to him tonight and he assured me he would be there…but of course he isn’t known for reliability now is he? He’s either going to drop the money off at Booth’s house or Dragon’s house, depending on where I am at that time. Either way, Booth is going to be there. If he doesn’t show up, I’m pretty sure everyone will be pissed off enough to actually go down to his house and get the money from him that way. Not violently of course, but he can’t very well hide from me if I show up at his house, nor can he blurt out the millions of excuses that his car isn’t working or whatever.
Booth is eager to meet him - or rather, eager to intimidate him. He won’t be violent or mean or anything like that, but from a chicken shit’s point of view, Booth is pretty menacing looking…what with his piercings and tattoos and in-shapeness. Yep, very stereotypical thing to say, but I’m relaying this only because it’s true. He’s a sweet heart 99.9% of the time to everyone, but if he has a reason to be he can be a real asshole. Booth isn’t impressed with what he’s heard from NSN (so the truth) so I’m not expecting Booth to invite him in for tea, nor do I want him to.
I just want my money and to move on with my life. I don’t want a friend, I don’t want apologies. I want my money. Simple enough, don’t you agree?
Anyways I think blogging helped with the whole “I’m not sleepy” issue, because now I’m tired. I can’t wait to see Booth later on today and get my *insert secret word here*. That 50 bucks will also come in handy! Good night, or rather…good morning!

Write It Out
The whole Booth thing yesterday was a misunderstanding and overreaction, just like I knew it would be…I just needed to vent about it. I had gotten little sleep the night before, I was up early and supposed to go to a possible lunch date with Booth and his dad…but I wasn’t even sure if the possible lunch date was a finalized thing, therefore I was very irritated. Writing it out helped calm me down and allowed me to rethink things through rationally. Of course, shit happens…people can’t always call you when they said they would or make it to things they said they would make it to. I know that Booth was upset about not making it to the dinner, and he felt like a jerk for not calling despite having a pretty damn good reason on why he didn’t. So after I told him how I had felt and how I felt now about it, we moved on. Because that’s life, and that’s what we do.
Anyways, yesterday turned out to be a pretty interesting day. Booth and I didn’t end up going out for lunch with his dad because he isn’t coming down until today, so we’ll be doing that today…instead we went over to Dragon’s house and hung out there. We took the boys (Dragon’s kids) to a motorcycle bowl thing to watch one of our friends dirt bike, it was pretty cool. I hope Booth doesn’t get the urge to get a bike…since he’s got an issue with fast driving and doing stupid things (the boy watches WAY to much of those 2 Fast 2 Furious movies). Booth also helped me study for my first test in drivers ed, which I really don’t know how well I did on. I’m HOPING I at least got a 70%, because if I didn’t then I automatically fail the course.
I’m going to start booking my in cars now though! I’m excited to start, but very nervous. I hope my instructor is patient because I really do have a fear of driving. You can’t tell normally until I move my hands from the steering wheel, haha. Ew. Sweating is so gross! But ya, anyways I’m hoping this in car lessons will make me more relaxed and confident while driving - and less sweaty of course.
It’s really hard to stay awake during my in class lessons though, like insanely difficult. I dozed off today while writing down what the instructor was saying, and I snapped back awake to find that I was still attempting to write down what he was saying! How weird is that? I don’t know why I have such trouble staying awake (ok maybe I do: monotone teacher) but it sucks because when I get there, I’m all ready to go and full of energy. Then it like all disappears as soon as I sit down. Plus the room stinks like old piss, and that’s disgusting!
And there is nobody in my class to talk to really. They’re all either insanely younger or insanely older. I find the younger ones annoying, and the older guy is annoying too. There is this one kid that really pisses me off; I guess he’s done the course once before but failed and now he’s constantly throwing in his two sense worth on like everything the instructor has to say (and everyone else for that matter) and I just want to turn around and tell him to shut his mouth. Obviously, the kid failed for a reason. Half the time, his two sense worth is wrong and it just confuses and frustrates everyone. Grr.
So yeah, random rant of the annoying drivers ed kid shall end now and I shall continue on with my merry post about how awesome certain things are.
Like Kraft Russian Salad Dressing. I don’t know if you guys have ever had it, but DAMN is it ever good! While at Wal*Mart the other day, Mom and I spotted it for a dollar seventy-seven in the bigger bottles so we scooped up three because I absolutely adore it! I will drink it, if possible. I’ve already gotten into trouble twice now for eating it without any salad. Just talking about it now makes me crave it yum! It’s awesome with that salad my Granny makes that has cucumbers, onions, hard boiled eggs, and cheese in it! I want some now. Yum!
Anyways, I’m off to Booth’s house.

Holy Shit Batman!
So my blog appears to be back online - thank gawd! I was getting extremely anxious, not being able to blog about my extremely boring exciting life and all the non happenings in it. No worries though, we’re back now. I only have time for a quick little update though, because then I’m off to hang out with JD. I probably won’t be home until late tonight because I finally started my drivers ed sessions!!
Which reminds me; my drivers ed instructor is a total monotone geek. He tries to make jokes, but they really aren’t funny. Whenever I zone out, he calls on me. Much to his surprise, I’ve been able to answer all of his questions correctly - because I can totally zone out and pay attention at the same time. Haha. I bet he was hoping to catch me in the wrong! Nope! All of the people in my sessions are either insanely young or really old. I actually am taking the course with one of my ex-bosses offspring (remember when I worked at Tim Hortons? The evil manager that was my reason for quitting? He had like 20 kids then because he doesn’t believe in birth control) so that’s fun.
Annnnnyways, so lots of stuff has [obviously] happened since my blog went missing in action for a while there. Shannon and Nelly tied the knot on Saturday! More about that later when I actually have time to go into great detail and post gorgeous pictures (I also want to get her permission first, since some people don’t like having their pictures posted on the Interwebs and she isn’t in the country to give it to me). Ok so really that’s the only big thing that’s happened recently. Mostly, I do what I did before; which is hang out with Booth or stay at home and go on Facebook. Woot! My life is so fulfilling.
I still have not yet heard back from the recreational group that I’m supposed to have a job at. I say supposed to, because I’m really not sure if I’m going to get it. Bossman is making it sound like there is a big chance I won’t get it, which is absolute bullcrap because I worked their the summer before AND I had a great end of the job review. People who worked the previous summer are supposed to automatically get the job; the review is just a formality. However, apparently it would be “wise” for me to look for a new job”. Well thanks for telling me this now, in the middle of April, when all the other decent summer jobs are filled!
I’m still hoping though…so heres to hoping. If I don’t get the job, then I will be boycotting the youth group for the entire summer. No week long camp, no camping weekends. Nothing. Because I will be furious. I’m sure that John will have no trouble at all getting his job back.
Anyways, more will be coming at you later…when I have more time. Now I’ve gotta jet! Know that I’ve missed you all though!
