boredom
Well, last friday all my aunts, cousins, and grandma left for Korea. I was sad to see them go. I really got used to having a really full house these last few weeks. It has been tons of fun being able to teach the mischievious ways of me and my brother's youth to my cousins. The 9 year old (the only boy) cousin wants to grow his hair out long like mine. I asked him why and he said that he had always wanted to and now he can tell his mom that my mom lets me grow my hair out so he should get to also. Anyways on saturday my brother and i woke up around noon, to silence, which is the total opposite of what we had gotten used to (7 am and chasing our loud cousins down the stairs). Well hopefully my brother and I can go to Korea next summer on our own and see them again.
Awhile ago, the 6 of us kids were supposed to prepare dinner for everyone else. Well during the time we were supposed to cook we ended up playing diddy kong racing (great game) the whole time. So we just ordered pizza (which is what my cousins wanted anyways). My dad hates pizza and my mom and aunts are indifferent mostly. The afternoon wasn't an entire waste though because we beat wizpig while playing diddy kong so i guess everyone was a winner (except my dad who must never have ordered pizza in college...or ordered too much).
Work has been ok. i think i like this job more than my other ones, but it may be the free food that sways my opinion. Some people are jerks and don't tip. TIP THE DELIVERY GUY PEOPLE. Every now and then i get this really nice person who will give me like a 5 dollar tip for like a 15 dollar order, but for every good tip there are like 3 or 4 people who tip me like 15 cents or not at all. This one guy gave me like 20 bucks for a 19.95 delivery and he told me "keep the change" as if he was doing me some huge favor. I wanted to throw the nickel at him but oh well. this other lady she gave me a 20 for like a 17.some odd cent delivery and i assumed that the rest of it was tip (which is usually what happens) and i said have a nice day and i walked off but all of a sudden she goes "EXCUSE ME?" and i said "oh do you want change?" and so i had to give her the EXACT change back except i didnt have it so i gave her a quarter instead of the some odd cents and in the end i lost money on that delivery. I decided if she ever orders again and i deliver it im going to spit in her food(haha jk....maybe).
Since my cousins left i really haven't been up to much besides work and sleep.
since my anecdotes amuse dupont, and also since i have ntohing else to write about, i recently remembered a certain water balloon launcher incident when i was 12. It was my friend James' Birthday party and he had gotten a water balloon launcher (like the one i stole from whomever at quadfest). Well of course we HAD to launch water balloons and of COURSE we had to shoot them at cars with their windows open as they drove by, and of COURSE i had to come up with the idea of putting food coloring in the water so that we would stain any on the mark shot. We mostly missed the cars entirely and about 4 times we hit the car but once, we acutally shot the balloon through the guy's window and hit both the people with green colored water. We laughed cheered and suddenly we realized that the car had stopped and then backtracked to where we were. The 8 of us ran off for James' backyard and we went in through the back door and hoped to god he wouldnt ring the doorbell. Well as my friend's mom answered the door (totally not in the know about what had happened) we snuck to the balcony on his house and of course dropped another water balloon onto the guy. This guy went totally mad as did my friend's mom and we all got on our bikes and rode off into the sunset...only to return 10 minutes later because we were hungry, and we hadn't eaten in a long time. 2 years later when i visited Buffalo (a year later i had moved to Texas) we were all talking about the water balloon escapade when my friend James informed us that he still had the launcher. For old times sake we launched water balloons again, only this time what we did was the guy launching it had to shoot as straight into the air as possible so that the balloon would land on him. I never really understood the point of that but it was fun and a challenge and it entertained us (as most stupid things do). The reason why i remembered all this is because i was cleaning my room the other day and came upon the launcher that i had obtained from quadfest.
