(no subject)
I'm alive. The huge decline in outdoor activity(one me v. thousands of cicadas) is finally ending. Yesterday I enjoyed no cicadas and got some sun on the roof, went to the park with Sam, went to the Olive Garden with her, Jared, and Nick, and watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. No one should watch this movie unless they're seriously drunk/high/whatever; I was not.
I don't have much of a life to speak of. I'm working two jobs; one at Target and the other at Drigley's(bar/restaurant). For the rest of the week they're claiming my life- Target tomorrow, Thursday, Saturday; Drigley's Friday and Saturday. I got asked to apply for a level 2 position(shoes specialist) at Target today by the softlines manager, which would mean a dollar raise and set schedule. Too bad I'm putting in my two weeks notice tomorrow.
I leave for California on Monday, where I'll be taking on another job at Hampton-Brown(human communications business; I'll be updating computers) while I'm there for ten dollars a hour. More importantly, I'll be spending two weeks with Mindy checking out schools, going to martial arts, watching anime, and spending time with one of my best friends. I'm also spending a week with my grandparents in Nevada; I'm taking the playstation, my cell phone, and getting my hands on the rest of the Preacher series before I try to take that on. I'm sure we'll find things to do, which will probably include sewing, relearning my lost crocheting skills, and long talks. I'm back in Cincinnati on July 17th.
I'm looking forward to it; it'll be a nice break from work & a lot of the little things that I can't get off of my mind lately(although honestly I'm afraid that being away will only make me think about them even more & I'll ofcourse miss all of my wonderful friends & J.).
My brother is still living with my dad; I haven't seen/talked to him in over two months. My dad called to talk to me last week while I was work, probably to give details on his wedding(I haven't talked to him either and I can't seem to bring myself to call him back). A few weeks ago he was calling me a drinking/pot smoking whore in court to hurt my mom, he's hurting my brother whether either of them realize it, and I can't stand watching my mom breaking down over her baby any more.
I realized I didn't have anyone to buy something for a few days before Father's day, and broke down. And it wasn't over my father, but Dave. I miss him; I realized how much when the thoughts of Father's day were automatically followed by ones of him. He wasn't my father, but the closest thing to one, and the best man I've ever known. I miss him.
J. leaves for basic in August for four months. I've made up my mind to go to school out west after high school is finished. It's so familiar- knowing that there's a deadline to our relationship. And this time it's me that's doing the leaving.
I probably think too much and far ahead; I always have. I try to spend my time and thoughts on the good things(because they truly outnumber the rest). I have amazing friends, a wonderful boyfriend, a fun job at Drigley's, mom & D., half of Price of Persia defeated, the cutest two little boys to babysit, and a good year to look forward to here.
School looks manageable. (Yes, I think I'm going for the longest Mandy entry ever, & if you've read all of this you're a serious friend).
A days-
Art I/French
AP Calculus/Hester
Photography/Parker Senior Seminar/Lawler
Early Dismissal
B days-
AP Art History/French
AP English/Deems
Spanish IV/Barbosa
Basic Drafting/Parker Literature and Film/Smith
I have to get a few things changed; after I put in my class requests one of the art teachers asked me if I would take Art III if she had the prerequisites overlooked. Also, I guess they couldn't fit Issues & Answers into my schedule and thought that Literature and Film would work, but it doesn't. (And to be super picky, I really want Spanish with Husman.) I'm hoping a few changes will switch things up to my benefit; my B days sound like a bitch.
Overall, I'm glad that senior status means that every class besides english was my choice. I'm looking forward to being captain of the best god damn varsity tennis team(and introducing running into the girls' lives), messing around(seriously, of course) on the bowling team with Mrs. H, and finally ending my career at Norwood.
I'm happy, I hope all of you are too. I never see a few of you, and I miss you. Drop me a line.
