Blah.
I have these days where I feel like I don't get to do anything at all. And I don't mean that I didn't get anything useful accomplished. I just mean that I didn't really get to DO much of anything, period. I mean, today I got up at 11, went to work, came home, talked to Vicki (yay), ate dinner while reading a magazine, screwed around on the internet a bit...and now I've gotta get to bed, because I work at 9 am. So there just wasn't much to the day. I mean, it pretty much feels like I just left work, and now I have to go back again. I can't help but feel that days like today are just kinda...blah. At least I get two days off after tomorrow, though. Then I'll actually have some time...to avoid doing anything useful, I'm sure.
But I've been doing some fun stuff lately, too...I guess I can't forget that. I went disc golfing last week for the first time...then went again the next day. Went to two different courses, so I was really able to check it out. It's pretty fun. I suck, but hey, oh well. I mean, it's kind of a weird sport...throwing a frisbee-type thing around and spending half the time trying to find it again in the foliage...but it's cool, and it's great exercise. Boy, was I hot and tired after I did that for a couple of days in a row. And it's also cool because I've been hanging out with Aaron from work a lot more...I went with him disc golfing. He's cool...I can relate to him pretty well. Wow, a GUY friend! Isn't that incredible?
I also went to the Goo Goo Dolls/Counting Crows show at DTE last Friday with Bre. That was a lot of fun. It was a lot better than I thought it would be...the music was all pretty cool. I didn't know much about the Counting Crows, but they did put on a pretty good show. I guess they're really more of a mellow, laid-back college band...no wonder I smelled pot around me. But I had a really great time...got to see Bre again...and, to top it off, I discovered a really cool new band. The openers, The Working Title, were actually really great. I was very impressed. I went to their MySpace and checked them out more...and then I bought their new debut album from iTunes. It's really good! I think they'll be big pretty soon. So, an all-around good show.
Speaking of MySpace, it has refused to load when I tried it yesterday AND today. I really need a MySpace fix. I mean, seriously....I've become dependent. This isn't good. Damn server. They really need to figure out how to keep that site going. The nearly 100 million people on it are making it SO slow and stubborn all the time. It is a LOT of people...but MySpace Tom didn't become a millionare so him and his team could run a site that still experiences little glitches CONSTANTLY. Grrrrrr. Good thing MySpace freaks like me are so loyal. Or else Tom and Rupert Murdoch would have a lot of disgruntled members on his hands...lol.
Oh, lol, another big thing is that Sally will be moving in here with me and my dad any day now. So that'll be interesting. She'll be going to community college in fall, and she'll be staying with us. I'm kinda happy about it. It'll be different, but it'll be nice to have someone around that I can talk to. It won't be so boring around here. Now if only there weren't the problem we always have with both of our parents acting as if they don't want anything to do with us....because Dad is, well, Dad, and Mom is under George's control. I mean, it is pretty discouraging. And Sally was upset about the fact that Mom and Dad were both trying to convince her to move in with the other. But I think I worked some pretty good damage control. I did the best I could, anyway, to try to convince her that living here will be fine. Which is about all I can do in this dysfunctional family. It'll be interesting to see what it's like with Sally around....I haven't lived with her in a long time. And I'm glad Lucy's happy about Sally moving in, too.
I hope I don't get my hours completely slashed at work. A full-timer just moved to our dept., so now I got pushed from 40 hours down to 32. Which kinda sucks...and I def. hope they don't get cut any more. I need to make money during the summer! And I've never had to worry about not getting as many hours as I want before.
Well, gotta get to bed...blah. Maybe I'll get to hang out with Vicki tomorrow. Things seem really promising with the two of us so far... :)
