(no subject)
I was supposed to work today, but Steph called and told me not to bother coming in because it was dead. I'm kind of bummed because I was going to have a really good paycheck with the amount of hours I'd be getting this week, but on the otherhand I was relieved because I worked a 12 hour day yesterday and I'm sort of exhausted. I also was excited to finally get a chance to get some stuff done.
I did like 5 loads of laundry. Then I laid outside in the sun and read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, my favorite one. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is coming out on Saturday. I'm excited. It'll give me something to do other than work for a couple of days. I think I may have gotten a little bit of a sunburn. I put on sunblock but that just doesn't matter for my skin. It's not a bad one though, just a little red. About time that I actually enjoy the summer.
I think in a little bit I might go to Funway and play some DDR. I'm trying to lose weight so I though it'd be a good idea. I'll probably play one game and remember why I stopped playing in the first place. :-P I wanted Mikey to come to Funway with me but he said that he was going to hang out with Jared tonight. *Sigh* Thinking about playing DDR of course makes me think about all the friends I made through that game. It makes me sad that I don't really have close friends like that anymore but I know that things in life are always changing. I may not have the friendships I used to have but I do have Jeremy, and nobody's ever been as close to me as he is. I mean I do have everybody at the 3 King's but it's not the same as the group of friends I used to have. For one, the friends I have now practically live with eachother so we get sick of eachother way to easily. Sometimes I wonder if it's not that we're with eachother too much, but just that what I have with them isn't what I had with my other friends. Also sometimes I feel like I'm not in that group by anybody's choice. If it weren't for me dating Jeremy I wouldn't really be in the group. Yet on the other hand, Jeremy isn't exactly Mr. Soal so it's not like he's the core of the group. He's sort of just my connection to the group. That makecis me think that maybe I AM really a part of the group, rather than just the girlfriend. However, sometimes I feel like I'm just there and the only person who REALLY wants me there is Jeremy. Sure these people are my friends and we like eachother's company, but I wouldn't say that I have many close individual relationships with any of the people in our group, except for Mikey. Even with Mikey though, it's different. I think that is the main difference with this group of friends and the group of friends I used to have. With my old friends, I really knew and connected with more than one or two people in the group on an individual basis as well as a group. The only person I really connect with in our group like that now is Mikey, like I said before. As much as our friendship is awesome, sometimes with Mikey I still feel like he sees me as Jeremy's girlfriend, not as Christine. I know just being the person I am when I worry about this sort of stuff, so I'm not really worked up about any of it. I guess more than anything, I just miss my old friends. And not just the DDR ones. :/
There is one old friend that I reconnected with...Kate. Amazing huh? Well while we weren't speaking to eachother she got married and had a baby. Her baby is BEAUTIFUL. I met the baby on the fourth of July. Her name is Shayleigh Rhian Smith. Kate, Shayleigh, and Kate's husband Dave look like such a happy family. OF course they're struggling a bit but I think that settling down may have ended up being a good thing for Kate. I'm happy that things are okay there and I hope that we'll never go another 2 years without talking to eachother.
Okay, off to Funway, or some more Harry Potter reading. Yay!
