Oops...
I just noticed that 20 updates ago I was talking about how I got with Ali. That was like a year ago. So I figure I should litter the web with life anecdotes until I update more than once every couple months. Here's what I was up to the last bit of the summer:
I got job. I now work in the Blanchardstown Bookstore. Well, I use the term now pretty loosely, since I'm done there next week, for college, and since nobody buys schoolbooks when they're already at school. Not often enough to warrant three teenage boys manning the bookshop anyway. Getting the job was pretty interesting; was woken up in the middle of the day by a text from Phil asking if I wanted work for a couple weeks, by the end of the day I was an employee and already had a couple hours work done.
It's been a pretty good experience really. Couldn't have done much worse for a first summer job tbh. I worked with a good friend, and both boss-type people were pretty sound. Plus I only had to deal with books, which are quite heavy, but smell nice, at least. Also, money! Money I've done very little other than be ridiculously careless with. Oh, I also bought Guitar Hero 2. Drool.
I can see why I never update, this is really boring to do... Have a quiz, then I sleep.
1. What's one thing thats heavily weighing on your mind?
Nothing really. It's summer (for me) loike. I guess I feel bad about not studying at all even a little bit for schols. That'd be the worst. Oh, and there's the constant fear of having a terminal illness, but what else is new.
2. Whats one thing you've learned from a good friendship gone bad?
Be ready for things to end, I suppose.
3. Whats one thing you've learned lately from love?
It makes everything better. I'm talking platonic love here mostly.
4. Is there anyone special in your life in general at the moment?
It's looking that way, yeah. I mean everyone's special etc but I get you, quiz. We think alike, you and me.
5. Whats a happy time you've had in the past week?
Probably hanging out after Fibber's. Or any times I cycled with music. Most Jen-related things were pretty happy too.
6. Is there anything in your past that you'd like to try again?
Anything of any significance in my past would change me now, possibly negatively, and I figure I'm pretty happy now, so that's quite likely. And anything insignificant I could just try again now. And will!
7. Who do you like to spend your nights with?
Friends, family, myself, obvious things.
8. Are you an emotional person?
Less outwardly than I used to be, but yeah, fairly so.
9. Are you self conscious?
Yeah, but way less than before. Only noticed that now. Yay.

I try to also, but I think barely anyone really does. Not properly.

21. Do you even care about your birthday?
I know they mean almost nothing (I think the fact that your age changes at least is significant), but it's a good excuse to have people over.
22. Do you think anyone in general out there loves you?
Assuming you mean people I know, yeah I think so. And if not I guess when people DO love me it'll be way nicer?
23. When do you think the world will end?
