After a weekend full of losing it and giving multiple people swift kicks in the ass, I'm finally calmed down. Trust me, what I wrote in here isn't the nastiest thing I said. I just hope that I didn't upset Megan. She seemed to get offline in a hurry, and it appeared that she was kinda mad at me for having said what I said, even if the nastiest part of it was not even something I believe. It's a long story, if anybody is curious, comment and I'll fill you in. I'd feel really bad if Megan got upset by that. Honestly, I do think that is the meanest thing I have ever said(yes, jena-it is THAT low).
Well, I still have one week left before it's over, but I'm still gonna take a second to just sort of reflect on what has been a very...surreal summer.
I'll start from the beginning. The summer started off fairly normally. I had just finished my regents exams and began to stay up later at night and sleep in every day. Then some weird things started happening. Of course, there was the fact that I was still having fainting spells during the beginning of the summer. I mean, we're talking like, bending over two or three times in succession made me almost pass out. We never did find out what really caused it. But we think it may have been from a serious ear infection that went undetected. Weird...
Then there was umpiring, which lasted longer than I thought it would, because in one week I went from never having done a senior divison(13, 14, & 15 year olds) game in my life to having done 5. And then there was the whole incident at the playoff game where the East Aurora fans got all mad because their team pissed away the lead. I still got paid though, so it's all the same to me. But my schedule just kinda got changed mid-shift. I was originally slated to do all of the minor divison(9 & 10 year olds) games, but then I ended up doing all of the senior division games at the end of the season. Eh...it was an interesting year umpiring, but then again, they always are.
Midsummer ball was a rather unsettling night, as I ended up getting ignored by several people. And with hindsight, I will say ignored, regardless of what anybody else has to say. I know who made a conscious effort to spend time hanging out with me that night, and they weren't any of those people. Then the whole issue with Cat apparently crying on the way home. I still say that she was just fuming because I wrecked her fun and embarrased her in the process, but if Sam was right...freaky...
My party, Brittney showed up, accompanied by her mom and siblings *shudders* That was a fun experience. And then I found out that Sam has my old priest at her church, so now I kinda feel bad for her. "Pope" Charles was a horrible priest. But that was another odd experience.
And then, of course, my well documented issues with Kristen. I still never got a reply to that email. So oh well.
And then, of course, my well documented issues with Krysten. Fortunately, we made amends after several miscommunications. And I'm glad we did, because that's another thing that when I look back, it seems inconceivable how this has all happened. I chance to come across her LJ in a community, I decide to im her one day, and things just kinda went into motion from there. Now, 5 months later, we're close friends. Doesn't that seem like something you'd see in a movie? Same with Megan, except we haven't had a fight yet. Hopefully we won't ever.
And then Sabina. I think very highly of her. Even though she's made some mistakes in her past, she's still a very genuine person with good intentions and a heart of gold and I love talking to her. And to think-that all started just because she clicked on the wrong link. Now there's a one in a million chance.
So that's where I stand right now with my summer. I've still got a week left, so God only knows what's going to happen there.
I'm also going to take this opportunity to let people know how much they mean to me. So, if you want, leave a comment, and regardless of if you have anything to say in reply to this post, leave your name at the end of it and I will reply to it, letting you know what I think of you. Do it anonymously, if you so desire.
