So I've been getting harassed that I never update my journal. So I figured this morning woudl be a good time to recap my summer vacation and how it was nothing short of amazing.
Summer started out with a love life......only to end in me NOT wanting it at all. jerry and I didn't work out, and thats that.
My friendship with Jordan was renewed and it was stronger than any friendship I have. So my best friend....Jordan Thomas Reufle. I had to say goodbye to him last night and I cried. I'm going to miss him terribly. He literally was the ONLY person that if i was in a bad mood, could make me smile within seconds.
Did my community service....so ok, that wasn't necessarily a highlight of my summer..but i learned from it. And i got it out of the way. So i can go back to being a good girl again.
Denny's......why did I get a job that made my summer fantastic? The people at denny's were positively amazing and they were so nice to me, and I met 3 of the greatest people there.
Tater- She is SUCH a sweet heart. I absolutley love her and I'm going to miss her like woah.
Lindsey- Now, we all know that here at home...I had like...all of 2 female friends. Lindsey made 3 and I feel like she'll be a life long friend. She was the only person at work that I felt I could really talk to about shit that was going on in my life, and she talked to me.....If she was working during my shift....life was good.
MIke-..........he's a whole nother story...I'll get to him.
Got jess back as a friend. Which makes me pretty much the happiest girl ever. I missed her. ANd I'm glad that jess and I are back on speaking terms. We're never going to be back to the way we were....But its better than nothing.
Here we go....I'm gonna spill my guts on what I've been denying for a month.
Summer Romance.
::sigh:: What can I say? I'm just hoping that this is one ginormous crush.
Mike is seriously one of my closest friends based solely on this past month. He and I had a number of late night talks...some of them on the phone, others driving around monroeville till 4 in the morning or later. I'm not gonna lie....I kinda fell for him. But I'm hoping.....PRAYING it's just a crush and when I get to school it will go away cause I won't see him really ever again. Saying goodbye to him last night made me cry. ::hates being a girl::
This whole thing brings me to Jp......Mike's best friend. Jp and I dated for like less than a week. Jp was so romantic, took me to mount washington, took me to an overlook of a beautiful l andscape and we watched a movie in his car....but I felt not hing more than friendship for him. BUt the worse part was was that mike told him that mike and I had kissed before I even MET jp...and jp had a HUGE problem with it. My deal was...If it happened before I even knew you..whats the big deal? His deal was that it happened at all cause he feels second to mike. What jp doesn't understand is that he is a great guy and that he has a lot to offer any girl. HE just wasn't right for me. So jp broke that off with me, and I Drove up to denny's that night at two in the mornign to bitch to mike about how he lied to me. THe night before mike and I had discussed whether or not we should tell jp.....meanwhile JP knew all along. So I looked stupid. I stayed in the to go area of denny's that night talking with mike until about 7 am. We did breakfast and i went home to sleep.
High light of my entire summer......Nights out with mike itll 6 or 7 in the morning.....Or maybe was it mike keeping me on the phone till 5 in the morning cause he had to wor at 7 am and if he woudl fall asleep he wouldn't make it in...so we had a nice 3 hour conversation that night.
I think I should probably mention how talented mike is. His art work is absolutley gorgeous. One day at work I told him that he should sign my wall, because all of my close friends sign my bedroom wall...making my bedroom full of memories. I don't know how he ended up offering, but he offered to draw me something. So he drew me a picture of the comedy tragedy masks in his interpretation. They are BEAUTIFUL and make my heart happy everytime I see them.
One morning we were sitting in his jeep outside of denny's watching the "sales men" dance (will explain later) and he started drawing and he drewt his beautiful rose. He doesn't understand how talented he is.
One night we were working graveyard together..I had just fin ished my shift, and mike had guilted me into staying till he was done toh ave breakfast with him. I went to my car to get something and when I came back, mike and the graveyard waitress monica were sitting in smoking with 2 customers. I walk in and mike looks at me and says "Mallory's a singer....come sing for htem mallory" Long story short, the customers were going to audition for american idol at the mall at robinson. Mike said "sing for them" and even tho I refused, he kept insisting. The customers looked at him and said "oh he likes you..." which.....ugh i dont' know. Everyone at work thought something was going on. I could only wish. BUt anyways, so I finally sang for them (it wasl ike...4 int he morning..no customers but them) and I went back to talk to mike and I said "you n ever let me sing back here cause it "turns you on" but other people ask me to sing and your first in line to push me ahead." And he said "I view your singing like you view my artwork. Your amazing, and I want to show you off.....be like...'I know her...she's mine...i discovered her". That pretty much made me fall so hard....and I almost cried.
I'm going to miss him so much. I hope he does well at edinboro. I waited on his family last night. His mom is 5'11 and gorgeous. She should have been a model. His nephew was with them and he is autistic and I'll tell you what...To see mike talk to his nephew....lets ust say...made me fall again.
STOP IT!!! ::sigh:: this sucks.
So the sales men.....They were these 3 young boys that came into dennys around 6 am....ate breakfast, and then before they left...Danced in the parking lot. THey did a long drawn out warm up dance to pump up their selling whatever. It was hy sterical. THe funny thing about it was that they had a leader. If the leader bought a junior grand slam....they ALL b ought a jr grandslam. How peculiar. One of the regulars...carlos...young guy....he said he followed them on morning.....and they knew...and they just drove around for hours....he ended up near cranberry till he gave up. So weird.
What else.
Oh, Babes In Arms. Finally..a community theatre that gave me a role in a show that wasn't a "bit part" and had one line to sing in a song. It was a supporting role.....It was a fun role. I loved it. I pretty much loved the cast more than anything. THey were soo extremely talented.
I organized a cabaret with the cast to reaise money for the theatre. We sang A New World to open the show and we sounded AMAZING. Thats what happens when one half of your ensemble has been to state chorus. haha. I made great friends in that show. I love them all.
Anything else......27 pounds this summer. Thats exciting. Lets not let college put it back on shall we?
So yeah...I pretty much had the best summer of my life. So what if my life in july was TOTALLY busier than I've ever been in my entire life. So what if i went from the senior center, to work, work to my show...and i only had an hour in between each. whatever. It was fun. and I loved it.
So long sweet summer.........
Hello 2nd year college!!!
Love,
