Good ol' O'Fallon. Always does the trick in a few days. I didn't do a whole lot today other than get an interview at Hollister for Tuesday and go out with my dad to the base. Story time! So, it's like 8:30 and I'm getting some oreos for dessert. I take my oreos and my cell phone in one hand, but I lose grip of my phone and it falls on the kitchen floor. But, it doesn't just fall on the kitchen floor, it flicks open and bounces into the dog's water bowl. I didn't pick it up right away just because it took me a minute to process exactly what had happened. I took it out and dried it off as much as I could, but it started doing some really weird things, and then I couldn't turn it on. I let it dry out for a bit, and now it's getting better. The flash light for my camera is still flickering, and the volume control doesn't really work yet, but I think it will dry out and be ok until I get a new one sometime soon. Anyway, the parents just flipped out, and they really can't handle anything out of the ordinary anyway, so they ended up not taking the whole cell phone situation really well. I would have just dealt with it on my own had I been alone at school, but they just freaked out. They're getting older and more annoying, and they can't do anything new. It's really routine, and it's really boring in my house. So, yeah, I'm just going to get out as much as possible this summer, and hopefully I'll have a job as a good excuse. Anyway, I left the house after the whole freaking out, went to Borders, and bought Brave New World. I read the first chapter, and I'm really excited about it. I'm catching up on classic books that I missed out on in high school all summer. So this should be a good one to start out with. So I read for about an hour or so in Borders, went to the coffee house and saw Nancy, Robert, and John, and just got back about a half hour ago. Now I'm off to read some more and enjoy the quiet of my parents sleeping. I could just remain in a nocturnal state and avoid them all summer. Anyway, StAy TuNeD.
