Possibly the most hilarious text I've ever received. That was Mike's response to me asking him to stop experimenting with weird nicknames. Clearly he didn't stop.
Anyway, Happy Independence Day! I wonder if at this point in America's existence, Britain is actually thankful that we broke off. I mean, with our economy in shambles and all, they're probably glad... haha. But we'll bounce back... I think.
So to celebrate the birth of my country, I wanted to go to Philly (where else?) to see the Roots play on the parkway. But this year I was invited to other festivities... surprising, since I usually have no plans on July 4th, but not bad. I'll just have to see the Roots another time. I'm going to Mike's BBQ first, since it starts earlier, then I'm heading to Tara's party. I wish I could be at both at the same time, since I have friends at both events, but what can ya do?
I'd really like to take advantage of the extra sales this weekend at the outlet mall on Sunday, but I can't seem to find anyone to go with. I might just break down and go by myself. After all, I need clothes and the only way to get them is purchasing them. The more on sale, the better.
In other news, I lost my job. I've been spending most of my time either searching for a new one or helping my dad around the house. He has been remodeling, since he doesn't currently have a job either. Last week I painted all the benches on the patio. He said that I did a good enough job to let me help paint the house when it's ready to be painted. Hooray? My mom offered to pay me for the work I've been doing, but I just can't do that. I feel too guilty taking money from her, especially because I know she can't afford it.
