(no subject)
I never update, so I guess I should start this with the standard “I never update this thing” line that everyone uses. It’s not like anybody reads this anymore anyway, but maybe if I cross-post on livejournal and blogspot, somebody will. I don’t know why I care. Oh well, on to the regurgitation of the last few weeks of my life.
Anyway, it’s the first day of June, and I’ve been home from college for about three weeks now. I haven’t done too much, but all traces of fun could be fun in that first week off. Jed came down to visit for a few days, so McGuirk held “McGuirk Party II”, or rather “McGuirk Party 1.25” since it wasn’t a full year since his first one. For those not in the know, this is when McGuirk assembles 7 people and makes them go one on one in ridiculous events, like juggling, or ping-pong, or understanding the Japanese language. I did horribly at this one, but I did win the “Name that Tune” competition.
That weekend I went camping with April, Erin, and Ryan (Prom Buddy). That was pretty fun, although it was still a little too cold to do anything. Well, now I’ll probably never see any of them ever again (except April, I’ll probably run into her).
I started my job soon after that. With the help of Lauren and Peter, I landed an internship at Alion Science and Technology in Norfolk. It’s been okay so far, though a little slow getting started. The pay is a lot better than my previous jobs and the hours are really flexible, so I can’t complain. TRAFFIC is still a source of intense anger though, as either coming or going to work somebody on the road manages to get into an accident, inexplicably backing up all highways for miles. There is nothing I hate more than traffic, NOTHING. Not even Digital Max, and everybody knows I despise him.
Last night we had RMEFFOWN again, though it was kind of put together at the last minute (sorry Patrick, if you are reading this, it said you were idle for like 15 hours so I assumed you were working that day). Peng, Collin, Jay, and I went to Wendy’s, a place everyone can agree one. The service was deplorable, as there were many people waiting in line with only one angst-filled teenage girl running the register. I’m sure her MySpace friends got an earful about how much she hates her job that night. Loren showed up about an hour later, so we were there for about 2 hours. Probably the funniest thing to come out of that outing was the idea for “WRESTLING: THE MOVIE” which was conceived after Jay said that he saw a movie preview that showed big letters W and W but not F following it, which disappointed him because he thought it was aforementioned wrestling movie. This was basically taking all of your “favorite” WWF (or WWE, whatever it is now) “superstars” and putting them in a ridiculous action movie (and not just the Rock, either). I would spare more details, but it probably isn’t as funny to people who don’t get enjoyment out of mocking the idiocy that is professional wrestling, but I’ll say this: if you thought pro-wrestling was stupid, it’s an academy award-winning masterpiece compared to this thing we thought up.
I haven't really been all that happy. I could easily admit to being content, but not happy, and there's a big difference in my mind.
