I'm kinda considering stopping the blogging here. I don't think anyone really reads it anymore cause it's all "myspace" now. Of course lately I have been really depressing and I understand if people didn't want to comment, but if it is just cause everyone's on myspace then there's no point keeping this going. Lol, this almost sounds threatening. It's hard to convey emotions properly in text. I'm not pissed that nobody's commented on my journal or anything. It's just seems logical to move with everyone else onto myspace if that's where all the fun is.
Anyways, yesterday elena skipped the PSATs and went out with me. I hope she doesn't get in trouble; she probably won't. We had lunch at the chinese buffet place. Always the best food ever. Then we walked through the petstore there. We saw a kitten that elena wants to adopt. It was so cute! I got a phone call and it was my mom. Somebody from the Berlin stop and shop wanted to talk to me about a job! Finally! It's kinda weird though cause I never even applied at the berlin stop and shop. I applied at the newington one so I'm assuming he got me from their files.
Elena and I went to the movies after and saw Wallace and Gromit which was awesome. I watched the old toon of it at emily's house when I was little so I especially loved it. It's only fault was having a little too much sexual innuendo. Towards the end it just got embarassing and I'm glad I didn't go with my family. Besides that though, I thought it was fabulous.
When we were walking out to our cars I suddenly realised I didn't have my keys. They were in the car still. The locked car. I spent five minutes or so in the rain trying to pry my window open when a man pulled up in a truck and offered to help.
"Hi, I'm [forgot] professional car stealer."
He got a coathanger out of his truck and started fishing around the car door with it through the window crack I had made. I felt really bad cause elena had to get back home before her found out she'd left school and she was shivering in the cold windy rain. The strange guy was a little scary too. In any other situation I'd say he was actually pretty hot, but I was scared so he just looked big and powerful. He started swearing a little and stuff while fiddling with the hanger and he asked us if we'd seen A History of Violence which didn't help. Elena kept wide-eyeing me.
I tried calling home but my mom was sleeping with the the phone off the hook. The kings weren't home either so I started thinking of calling my roadside assistance people. I didn't know how that worked though; if my parents would be charged extra or if I only get to use them a certain number of times. All I knew was their number on the card mom gave me. I was really hoping the guy would be able to get my door open and a few minutes later, he did! I was so happy I almost hugged him but right after he drove away elena said, "now he's going to follow us and kill us."
"Most likely rape us first." I added.
I called the Stop and Shop guy and scheduled an interviw for today at 4. I'm so relieved. Just getting an interview proves I'm not completely cursed.

This morning I woke up at 6. If I want to see my friends before class I have to leave the house by 6:40 but I was exhausted so I slept in a little. The pump my parents bought for the water hole in the basement was making lots of noise so I unplugged it and checked the water level. It seemed low but sometimes it rises really slowly so I took a shower and checked it again at 6:30. (It takes me a half hour to get clean.) The room was flooding. I plugged the pump back in; no response.
So I had to start sucking with the wet vac. Now the thing with the wet vac is it only holds ten gallons of water. Then you have to empty it in to the sink. The sink in the laundry room in the basement, so you have to lug the thing over there, then lift it up and dump the water. This is very hard because ten gallons of water is alot heavier than you think. My dad helped me for a little while but he had to go to work so I had to do it myself. I emptied that fucking vac about 50 times, no exageration. Every muscle in my body hurt and I felt like I was going to faint. If I stopped for more than 10 minutes though the hole overflowed and started filling the room.
Now a little weird: I tried a "are you psychic" test the other day for fun. One of the questions was, "Do machines or appliances often not work for you? Do you seem to have very bad luck?" Anyone who knows me knows that I have terrible luck. Ridiculous crap is always happening to me. It suddenly occured to me, what if it's not all coincidence?
Yeah, silly I know. Whatever. So I'm unnable to lift the damn wet-vac anymore and desperatly trying to figure out a way to save my room from flooding again when I remember that quiz. I start to concentrate on the broken pump. I focused on it as hard as I could and thought of it being fixed, pictured it fixed, saw it working again. Then I turned it on again, and it worked!
I'm not saying I'm psychic or that I think I have the force now. All I know is what happened and I've told you the truth. Who the hell really knows how our world really works? Maybe it was god or just something about the pump that I don't know, I'm not a plumber. Or maybe, I did fix it.........

[Edit] 5:52 PM - I got the job!!!!! I'm a cashier at Stop and Shop now!!! The store isn't finished being built yet so I'm not starting for a few weeks. I'll be doing orientation classes or something I think till then. I feel so relieved. If you've seen my past entries you know that I've really been stressing out over being unemployed. It's like a huge weight off my shoulders.
My bedroom flooded again about an hour ago. The washer got clogged and overflowed. My back was still sore from all the water vaccuming I did this morning. I won't be able to get up tomorrow. T__T
I'm moving out. That damn basement is uninhabitable and now that I have a job I can pay rent. I'm so out of here.
