Hello,
My vacation was just lovely. You have no idea how great it was to escape my house to a place other than work. I also realized that all my friends are absolutely amazing.
-----------
As some of you know, I have a list of around 133 things to do in my life. I accomplished at least one of them within the past 3 days. I also had some deep conversation, Jumped on tramps, Witnessed Mike & Jared shoot a "gun", saw a loon, bathed in a lake, slept outside under the stars, and laughed so hard it hurt.
-----------
I had a lot more insights...particularily involving lame pop songs referring to love as a battlefield. But, when I started writing I realized I don't truly have my thoughts together on the subject matter. I just know that love shouldn't be a battlefield...
------------
I think some people need to learn how to let things go. I think some people need to learn to keep there mouths closed. I think that a lot of people that say they "hate drama" often find themselves involved in drama because they try to change people. Truth being: letting small things go is difficult, but results in things being easier, gossip just means you don't have anything to talk about, and changing people only works if they ask for change.
-------------
I have a minor minor reason for thinking these things, but really I was just listening to music. I find I really hate the music "everyone" listens to. Lyrics are mostly pointless and the rhythms often sound the same.
--------------
I recently discussed beliefs I haven't quite figured out. It was a really good conversation. I really had an amazing vacation, and couldn't have asked for a lot more. I'm ready for a busy work weekend. And, have lots to figure out.
---------------
Oh, and I'm in a single dorm in Sanford Hall for those who are unaware. I like this idea a lot even though nothing about it was first choice. I'm glad the U knows me better than I do...I hope it's foreshadowing that it will help me figure everything out.
---------------
Good things are going to happen.
This has been one of my favorite summers ever.
I wish you the best.

It WILL Be a Good Day
Just so everybody knows, my aunt is bothering me. Actually, it's when my mom and aunt are together. And god, they are together a lot during the weekdays. Yesterday I kind of broke down I was so annoyed. But, then I got over it. Now anger from today is building up, but I've decided not to let it get to me because tomorrow I will be gone from 10am all the way to Friday...God I am excited. You have no idea.
-------------
I've also discovered that my mom and aunt are very into looks. As we were watching The Bachelorette they were criticizing everything about different people's appearance. They are also into money. My aunt keeps asking me questions like "how much did you get for graduation" or "how much did you make in tips tonight" or "at which job do you make the most money". I think money is more of a personal thing...I don't like bragging and I don't like being below standards...so therefore it is a lose-lose situation.
--------------
Enough with negativity though, because today will be a good day. I work at Hope's Harvest in about an hour.
--------------
Yesterday Ana and I cleaned like none other. Well, she helped me clean under two of the refrigerators which therefore led me to want to clean a lot more. So, she helped some of the customers and helped me organize while I did a lot of the sweeping and scrubbing under other areas. I must say that a lot of dirt and dust and containers were found.
---------------
I'm excited for a lot of things:
1 day until Yoga
1 day until I leave my house for Mike's Cabin
3 days until I find out who my roomate is
4 days until I get paid and have another busy weekend
4 days until August
18 days until Seattle
35 or 36 days until college starts
----------------
I can't wait for all this to begin.
Today will be a good day.

Nice Weather Brings In Nice People
I'm not quite sure what this feeling is, but I don't like it.
I wanted to sleep in until 12, but I couldn't.
So, instead I am up at 9.
Bleh
------------
Many days have past since I updated you last (ugh that rhymed). I refuse to give you a play-by-play of my weekend...because it was mainly just work.
------------
I will say that Friday was really fun. I saw two movies that are probably on my favorites list. Well one of them anyways...I'm still thinking about the other one. There was way too much British. Mike & I had to put on the subtitles.
-------------
EN-RAH-HA!
-------------
That's pretty much British for "Look in the damn mirror!"
-------------
Saturday I worked 4 hours at Hope's Harvest and 4 hours at Nosh.
Sunday I worked 6 hours at Hope's Harvest and 5 hours at Nosh.
Both days were insanely busy.
Especially yesterday at Nosh because we were low staff, which I don't mind.
My next paychecks will be nice.
-------------
Yesterday at Nosh I noticed a Hope's Harvest Regular sitting in the park staring off to Wisconsin and daydreaming. This guy comes into HH every day and orders the same sandwich and cup of coffee. He also turns his head the same way and looks out the same window. The only thing I have discovered is that he must have a lot on his mind. I wonder what he thinks about. But, anyways, I will see him again at work today.
-------------
My legs are killing me and I can't stop yawning.
3 days until 3 days of vacation.
Wednesday is going to be a good day.
So will the weekend.
4 days until I find out who my roomate is.
5 days until August.
20 days until Seattle.
------------
If you're ever looking for something to do stop by Hope's Harvest to keep me company.
My schedule is
Today: 2-6
Tuesday: 2-6
Wednesday: 10-2
Friday: 10-2
Saturday: 2-6 (unless I work at Nosh earlier)
Sunday: 10-? (all day)
I'm usually off Mondays & Thursdays. I'm gone this Wednesday-Friday.
-------------
I'm bringing Julia a treat when I work with her next...haha we'll see what happens.
-------------
Peep and Creep
-------------
That's British for "Look both ways."
-------------
Goodbye. Have a lovely rest of your day. Patience is the key to life.

Not a Fan of Thursdays
I'm not a fan of Thursdays. Simply put.
---------
It was good to have a day off...because I was sore. From what? I'm not sure...I'm assuming yoga...but it's hard to tell.
----------
I spent almost my entire day downloading new music...I'm satisfied with my choices and new discoveries.
----------
The wrath of my aunt is already present in my house. My mom and dad were arguing over how to get her dinner...because my mom works. I work & am busy. And my dad is camping. But, my dad will be kind and come home to cook for her. She will have the house to herself until I come home...hmmm...I'm not sure how I feel about that. Is it normal to leave a guest at your house alone? It happens a lot with my aunt.
-----------
I'm angry because my So You Think You Can Dance favorite was kicked off. I find it absolutely ridiculous because he and his partner were the only couple to have two great routines...the others just had one. I think Melissa and Ade should have left, but breast cancer saved them. Ironic huh?
-----------
I've decided I'm going to the So You Think You Can Dance tour at the Target Center October 7th at 7:30. I encourage you to come with me. I hope my roomate is crazy about the show...then we can make a date on July 31st when I find out who she is.
-------------
I had some deep thoughts & then all was lost when Jason was kicked off. I think it was about my dreams.
-------------
I had a dream last night that I was hanging out at my house with my friends and my sister came over to surprise me and everything was happy. Her and dad were on good terms and she was really nice....I wish it was like that. I miss her and I wish I had a sister...one that was there for me.
--------------
Hmmm...this is already getting long, but I must tell you of my dream about three days ago. It had so many people in it and I remember it so well that I must describe.
=============
I'm not sure how it started, but I remember going to hang out with Mal because I had nothing to do after school. As we were walking I realized it would be awkward because we hadn't hung out in a long time. So, once we got to her house I just didn't go in.
----
I appear by Leah's house. I was waiting for a bus. It comes around the corner and I see Leah and her brother (who was waving an umbrella in the air) waiting for the bus as well. Unfortunately I didn't get there in time...so I ended up chasing after the bus.
---
I somehow end up in a van. It is Me, Zach Brusse, Katie Wurst, and some others taking a spelling test given by Mr. Sweeney. I couldn't focus...so I ended up missing a bunch of words and failing.
---
We stop by my grandparents house. Outside their house he hands us back our results. I got 8 wrong...I was really confused in the dream because I skipped a ton of them. Katie only got 6 wrong and she was bragging. Zach was upset, but I never did find out his score.
---
We now go into my grandparent's house. We are celebrating something. Mr. Sweeney talks of going all over Zumbro Falls (To do what? I'm not sure). Hannah, Sam Jacobson, Tom Schmidt, Joe Ruiz, BJ, and Anna Moechnig are just some of the people in the house. Sam was working on getting the leftover Chinese food to taste good. She asks me if Shrimp Dip is served hot or cold. I tell her cold. There is frozen bread thawing in the sink. For some reason Mike hugs me and then Tom hugs me. The first hug from Tom was really awkward so we hug again. Tom then puts on a grey coat that daryn always wears...I'm pretty sure Daryn isn't in my dream though. I go into the next room to find Hannah talking with Mr. Sweeney. Hannah runs over to me and I hug her..pretty much lifting her off the ground. She is getting ready to tell me something about a teacher and I am just about to say something about Mr. Brott or Mr. Nutt, but am confused at what grade I am in.
---
Flash to a room I've never seen. I have hid something belonging to BJ. Mal and Anna are laughing and Joe Ruiz and Steve O Brien are shocked that I would do such a thing. I am sucessful in BJ not finding whatever I hid. I think it was his hat?
---
That is all I remember of the dream. Excuse me for this long blog.
Adios!

The Tempest
I was in a strange land.
Observing with interest.
Confused as a fly on its back.
----------------
I drove and I sat.
I walked and I ate.
I walked and I sat.
I sat and I watched.
I walked and I drove.
------------------
The land is that of Winona.
An awkward place.
True expense is not known
By that shady Hardee's employee.
Nor the awkwardness of awkward eye contact known
By drivers driving by.
------------------
But the theater greeters
Do know how to greet
And the actors
Do know how to act
The cookies are good,
But the water tastes of fish.
----------------------
I parked on Wabasha Street
In Winona
God is speaking...
----------------------
Ariel the spirit
Wears unclassy clothes,
But speaks in an enchanting voice
and moves ever so gracefully in her tower.
Trinculo makes me smile.
Caliban is a creeper.
All the actors spit and spat
The effects were good.
The play was beautiful.
======================
A number of things happend between last night and today. I found out I am staying in Sanford. I have come to love the idea. I do not know my roomate. Not yet.
-------------------
I worked at Hope's Harvest. Go figure. It was a good day.
--------------------
I took Yoga. It was refreshing. Fran should stay at home though. I find her jean shorts ridiculous.
--------------------
I saw The Tempest. My experiences are pretty much all listed above. I got advice from a shady Hardee's employee...I made temporary friends with a kind stranger. I found Winona to be awkward in every way. Service at Timbers is not good, but the food is pretty good. The water tastes of fish. We watched a fly lay on its back. We saw a lot of signs about God. Ariel and Trinculo were my two favorite characters. I loved the play. I drove a lot. That about sums up any confusion.
-------------------
Tomorrow is my day off. It will be a good one. My aunt from SD is coming friday *dramatic music and thunder crashes*
-------------------
Goodnight my friend.
I will see you in the coming days.
Observing with interest.
Confused as a fly on its back.

Adroit & Cumbersome
Hola.
---------
It seems my posts have all been the same lately: work. I will quickly say that I worked today and it was an average day. Except that the health inspector came and we trained in Holly. The energy in the room was thrown off by these two events.
---------
As I was driving home, in the distance I saw that a cloud had collapsed. It looked really cool...it was all dark and dreary. Then, I drove into this fallen cloud and became submerged in a heavy refreshing rain. It was really nice. I love driving in the rain.
---------
Last night I found a quote in the book I'm reading that I found amazing: "Such memories can be remembered (everyone knows this) even from an earlier age, even from the age of two, but they only emerge throughout one's life as specks of light, as it were, against darkness, as a corner torn from a huge picture, which has all faded and disappeared except for that little corner." I love that quote...and I think that's exactly what memories are.
---------
Tomorrow will be an awesome day. I work 10-2. I have Yoga 3-4:15. Then, I'm hanging out with JDK in Winona before going to The Tempest, which is a Shakespearean play. I'm excited.
---------
Scroll down and feed my fish. It doesn't have any effect on anything, but why wouldn't you feed hungry fish? Just click to feed. Please & Thank-you. =)
----------
Adios!

In the Theory of Life
Today I awoke to a text message from my boss at Hope's Harvest asking me to come into work at 10 because Emma called in sick. It was destiny that I forgot to turn my phone to silent during the night and that I decided to actually read it instead of ignoring it. I had an oil change appointment at 11, but the guy was nice and moved it to 9:15. He also filled up the gas in my car for me. It was really nice.
-----------------
Hope's Harvest was crazy busy. From 11 to 2 I didn't look at the clock because I was so busy making paninis, wraps, and smoothies. It was great though. I really love my job when it's really busy and the people are nice. I felt bad though because it was so busy we ran out of a lot of stuff, leaving the people who came later with less to choose from. Anyways, I got off at 2:05 and left in a great mood.
-------------------
Then I found I got a 2 hour parking ticket, which upset me because it was impossible to go move my car without upsetting a lot of people. I put my $5 in the envelope as well as a little note that said: "Work got busy...I know you don't care, but it frustrates me." I'm over it...for some reason the note made me feel better even though I know it won't make any difference at all. Oh well...it never changed my mood.
-------------------
As for the rest of my day. It was suppose to be my 1 of 2 days off this week, but I'll just relax with what I have left and it will be even better than it would have been.
-------------------
I feel like the wind is trying to get into my house. I welcome it, but I wish it would be a little more quiet.
-------------------
I listened to Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson while I was waiting for my car to be refreshed with fresh oil. It put an interesting twist on the ZF gas station and it made me laugh inside. Listening to it also reassured my thoughts of the lyrics being "Annie are you okay? Get your Rogaine." I know that's wrong, but if you listen to the right parts (between 48 seconds-1 minute as well as around 2 minutes of the song) it sounds just like that.
--------------------
I'm off to enjoy my afternoon/evening.
In theory, it will be uneventful.
But that sounds good to me.
Have a good life today, tomorrow, and all the rest of your days.
Adieu.

Business with Three Syllable
Hey there.
It's been a while.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
-----------------
Friday:
I awoke semi-early to work at Hope's Harvest at 10. Then I worked as a Hostess at Nosh at 3. My boss was in a really good mood. She gave me the weekend I need off and she let me leave early so I could see Fiddler on the Roof. She also danced to Whatever Lola Wants as well as sang to it. It made me laugh. Fiddler on the Roof was good. I thought everyone did great, but I suppose it could have been better in the accent area. It was also freezing in the theater, and Hannah & I sat close to a little girl with huge frizzy hair that thought she had to tap her shoes to the music and dance in her seat. I sympathized with the woman who actually sat next to her. Hannah, Mike, and I then went to Applebee's with JDK & Jared. It was a good time, but I have decided that even though Applebee's food is really good...it's just not my favorite. I went home and immediately went to bed. I dreamed that I had to watch over a bunch of children at the elementary school...then I had forgot that I had to work at Nosh so I was late and didn't have my uniform...but then I went there and it just appeared and nobody was upset, but I was really stressed...I find no meaning with that besides that I really hate being late and really care about my job.
--------------------------------
Saturday:
I slept in till 10:30...giving myself 10 1/2 hours of sleep. It was nice. I went to work at Hope's Harvest at 2 and worked until 5:30. It was a really good day that went by super fast. Then I worked at Nosh at 6. My boss was a little crazy again, and she was in a decent mood, but not as good as Friday. She was probably a little annoyed that I confused what day I wanted off, but I worked everything out I hope. Otherwise it was a really good day. Busy enough to keep me there and give me hours and quiet enough to be able to breathe. I witnessed the cooks whipping each other with wet towels and speaking in German accents. That was funny. They are quite the comedians and they are all super nice and very talented. After work I went to Mike's house and hung out with Chris and Tiffany. Then they left so Mike JDK & I could watch Garden State. I do believe it's on my favorite movie list. It was a good one. I love psychological, artsy movies with good music. I also like Zach Braff and Natalie Portman. It was a good night.
------------------------------------
Sunday:
I awoke semi-early again and felt super tired because I got home late. I worked at Hope's Harvest at 10. I had some caffine so I wasn't tired once I got there. Sue left me alone without any tasks to do...so I did some major cleaning and it made time go by really fast. I could honestly say unless I decided to move stuff or dig in stuff, I had nothing else to clean. Then lunch got busy...mainly because of one family that was in a hurry...it kind of frustrated me when the dad was gawking over the counter and watching me make the sandwich, but I suppose he can if he wants. I made my first ever Frappe and decided that they are delicious. I also made some really delicious smoothies. I find myself becoming a little more outgoing at Hope's Harvest and that is also transferring over to Nosh. I've haven't had a problem with being outgoing since 8th grade, but I have always had a problem actually putting that personality trait into effect. It's there, but it will just take a little more time to completely be there. Then I can prove some annoying people wrong. But anyways, it became dead and after listening to Tim talk about interesting stories in a very theatrical voice, Sue decided to let me leave at 2. I got home, ate a lot, and then took a nice nap.
-----------------------
I've discovered that I usually wake up in the morning with a song stuck in my head. Friday morning's song was Mr. Pitiful by Matt Costa, Saturday morning's song was a clip from Alice in Wonderland, and today's song was I'm Good I'm Gone by Lykke Li.
-----------------------
This weekend was a huge success. I'm glad I can balance two jobs and a social life. I wouldn't change anything about my life right now. Of course, I'll want it to change at the end of the summer, but for now it's perfect.
-----------------------
I'm trying to figure out what I believe as far as religion. I am a blank slate. I've listened to a lot of people at Hope's Harvest who have an interesting interpretations. I've listened to Science. I've attended two Catholic church services. And, of course, I have listened to my Lutheran parents who would be upset if they found out I don't know what I believe. I'll figure it out. In the meantime it's really refreshing to just be open-minded. I do know that I don't like the idea of being born into a religion. I have also shared a lot of my annoyances with the idea of God. But, there are also a lot of unexplained things too. Anyways, I'll make up my mind eventually. This is far too complex to discuss so I will spare you the lengthy reading.
-------------------------
I'm excited for Wednesday. I'm also excited for more business...and that is not business like The Apprentice...that's business like Busy-ness. I can't think of a better word because I just woke up for a nap...so get over it.
-------------------------
Good things to come. =)
It's been a while.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
-----------------
Friday:
I awoke semi-early to work at Hope's Harvest at 10. Then I worked as a Hostess at Nosh at 3. My boss was in a really good mood. She gave me the weekend I need off and she let me leave early so I could see Fiddler on the Roof. She also danced to Whatever Lola Wants as well as sang to it. It made me laugh. Fiddler on the Roof was good. I thought everyone did great, but I suppose it could have been better in the accent area. It was also freezing in the theater, and Hannah & I sat close to a little girl with huge frizzy hair that thought she had to tap her shoes to the music and dance in her seat. I sympathized with the woman who actually sat next to her. Hannah, Mike, and I then went to Applebee's with JDK & Jared. It was a good time, but I have decided that even though Applebee's food is really good...it's just not my favorite. I went home and immediately went to bed. I dreamed that I had to watch over a bunch of children at the elementary school...then I had forgot that I had to work at Nosh so I was late and didn't have my uniform...but then I went there and it just appeared and nobody was upset, but I was really stressed...I find no meaning with that besides that I really hate being late and really care about my job.

Day Off
As I sit watching Super Sweet 16 for the first time since I first got Dish Network, I'm glad that I don't have that fake voice and have better things on my mind. Although, this girl looks a lot like Jessica Schmidt with blonde hair...but Jess is nicer and better.
-----------
Today was relaxing and I accomplished little things I have been meaning to do. I also cooked a delicious soup.
------------
The Thursday Theory did come back though...my aunt from SD that I'm not a fan of is staying for a month...oh well...I'm gone too much for it to affect me anyways I think.
-------------
Ugh she just got a $96,000 Jaguar.
-------------
But, anyways, today was my day off so I don't have a lot to say...the next 7 days will be crazy busy & awesome!!
-------------
Hasta Banana

July 15th
I'm not sure how to start this.
I know not enough to talk about others or ideas
& I don't feel like talking about myself
I suppose I will anyways.
---------------
Today is July 15th. That means Seattle is in 1 Month. I have nothing more to elaborate on with that.
----------------
Today I worked while being super tired. I vow that that will never happen again because it wasn't a good experience. But, I took an hour long nap today...so I am recovered.
-----------------
I took Yoga for the first time today. It was one of the most refreshing experiences ever. My entire body felt amazing.
-----------------
The rest of my day was pretty pointless.
-----------------
I'm excited to spend some time with friends...
I feel like all I do is work.
Which is good,
but change is good too.

Chow.

Bring Me a Smile
I'm not sure what my mood is...it's not good, but not bad, but it's more bad than good.
I'll just stick with what I know.
-------------
Today I worked. It wasn't quite as fun as it usually is because it was really quiet. But, I still love my job. I work tomorrow...it will be a good experience I'm sure.
-------------
Tomorrow I'm taking Yoga. I'm really excited. I need a form of physical activity to relax me.
-------------
I really want it to thunderstorm.
I wish I was going to Harry Potter with my friends, but there are many reasons why this is an impossible event.
I hope I can go to Fiddler on the Roof, but Thursday is the only possible day because it's the only day I don't work...I hope that happens...
--------------
My legs ache and I don't quite feel myself today. Admitting that actually makes me feel like crying, but I won't. My dreams have turned negative again. I feel stressed, scared, and a little let down. I'm haven't put my finger on the reasons for these feelings...but I hope they go away soon.
---------------
Today I said that I hadn't had a headache in 2 weeks...I have had a headache for about 3 hours...lavender worked for 1/2 hour, but then it came back.
---------------
I guess my mood is depressed.
---------------
I'm sorry.
I'll get better and stop bringing you down.
MLIA has died...not in my heart...but the website isn't working currently.
----------------
Goodbye for now.
I'll just stick with what I know.

MLIA
Just so you know, I'm now into My Life Is Average. I have been listening to my friends read these hilarious posts for quite some time, but today I made myself an account. I submitted 3 stories. I find all to be high quality, but I'm sure the general public will disagree. We will see.
-------------
I also got my first paycheck at Hope's Harvest. I can honestly say that the 39 hours I put in were very worth it. I'm happy with that, plus I love my job.
-------------
I saw Bruno today. I laughed, a lot. It was the most offensive movie I have ever seen I think, as well as the most potentially awkward, but going into it I knew it was going to be awkward and that I was going to see more male genitalia than I was used to so therefore it was just funny. One of my MLIA submissions was about my experience there.
-------------
JDK & I came up with a game at HH when it was dead. You basically take a sentence and replace one word with the word virgin(s). It's really hilarious when you're bored or on caffine. It also works well with famous quotes. These are some of my favorites:
"You cannot do a virgin too soon, for you never know how soon is too late."
"Reach for the stars even if you have to stand on a virgin."
"Don't believe in virgins, depend on them."
"I saved the virgin. Did you?"
-------------
I'm aware this humor may be rude or offensive, but that's what this world is coming to. I saw Bruno today...I can say nothing offensive when compared to that film. Plus, the two other friends I have shared this game with have enjoyed it.
--------------
Today I was so happy the woman at the coffee shop made a decision for me that I ended up with a large mocha...and a large amount of energy. I believe it made everything funny...it was a good time.
--------------
That was not a MLIA submission, but it very well could be fixed to be one, but I won't because mine were better.
--------------
I think reading MLIA submission reassures the fact that my life is indeed average, but at the same time I believe my life is better than those other losers...
---------------
That is that.
End.

Busy. Happy.
Awesome is my current mood.
Hell Yeah is what I would say to almost anything now.
Super Crazy was my day.
Happy is how I am.
------------------
The above section could be the short version of my day. If you prefer the long version, read on.
------------------
I awoke at 8. Volunteered at the library from 9:15 to 12. Crazy kids. One particular family stressed the crap out of me. I'm not sure how some people cannot grasp any form of the concept of organization. But, they were nice so it's all good. I saw Mr. Holland & company. He said no words to me. I don't care, but something must be off. The library volunteering is done for me...so hoorah.
-------------------
I worked at Hope's Harvest from 1 to 5:30. It was great. I made Coleslaw and Tabbouleh. I love cooking. I hate reading recipes, but for the Coleslaw I don't use one and the recipe for the Tabbouleh was just adding ingredients so that was good. I also cleaned the salad display area...gross, ick, bleh. But, it made Sue happy that I did that so it was worth it. I did a ton of dishes...Sue was happy so I was happy. I listened to Tim being Theatrical and it was hilarious. Pete brought in homemade pickles and I had a HH sandwich. Throughout the day I also helped people, but that's everyday I work there. It was a very successful and busy day.
--------------------
I worked at Nosh 6-10. Coreen referred to it as "the day from hell"...mainly because there was a lot of people and not enough space. But, for me as the official Food Runner it meant I had something to do constantly. That is very good. I had some hectic moments, but for some reason it didn't stress me out. I also got some compliments from some guests, which made me super happy. I also got to play "fake waitress" for 5 minutes because everyone was busy...it was AWESOME! I had the personality turned on high today and it was very good. VERY successful day.
----------------------
That is my day. Work. But, I love it.
----------------------
I look forward to tomorrow. Work at HH and then hang out with JDK & Tom. I think I get off at 6, but it could be earlier.
----------------------
Chachyahhhh!

Three
I have three things on my mind.
Three things I will not discuss with anyone.
Problem #1: Makes me really really sad, but it will come to an end forever starting today!
Problem #2: I can accept, but others would give me that "awwww" noise or something else. I personally feel like I failed myself...and others would probably judge me a little.
Problem #3: Isn't specific and is multiple things. A plan is in danger. Something will have to be done. It had better go exactly how I want it to. I also don't approve of some things that are currently taking place, but they will go away with time.
----------
There. I kind of discussed, but not really. That's all you need to know. I will survive.
-----------
Today I volunteered at the library again. Today they got to spend their fake money on toys...and wow there were some nice toys there...personally I would have gone for this super awesome bouncy ball and a peace sign pencil. A lot of kids are really cute...a lot of them are kind of annoying. I can't think of any funny stories even though there were a lot of moments I laughed a lot.
-----------
Then I worked at Nosh. It was really slow today and not a lot of people, but for some reason it was still fun. I will not elaborate.
------------
Tomorrow I volunteer at 9:30 (it's my last day! hoorah!). Then I work at Hope's Harvest. Then I work at Nosh. It will be a crazy day and I'm sure a good one.
------------
Sunday is the day to hang out after work. I need to figure that out.
------------
My mom bought Season 4 of The Office. That's what I will be doing in my spare time at home.
------------
Adios.

So It Goes
Good Day & Good Evening to you.
----------
Yesterday I felt as if I had nothing inspirational to say...so I didn't blog. Today I feel the same way, but I thought I would blog anyways. So...here it goes:
-----------
Yesterday Seattle was once again made official. Now, we have transportation there as well as a place to sleep. I'm pretty sure that's all we need to make it official. I'm excited like none other. Really. 38 days or something like that.
------------
Today I bought tickets to a play. Also exciting. It shall be good. Shakespeare at his finest.
-------------
Yesterday I hung out with JDK and then with JDK & Mike. Both were good moments.
--------------
Mike recently got a snuggie®. There are a variety of emotions that I have discovered when being in the presence of such a purchase: Happiness, Comfort, Cheer, The Rare Half Smile Follwed By The Full Smile Followed By Looking To The Ground In Shame Followed By a Head Shake (there's actually a word for this particular emotion and that is Ridiculous--formerly known as an adjective to describe something ridiculous), and the last emotion, of course, is warmth because...well...it's a blanket in the form of a backwards robe that makes you feel like Jesus or a Prophet...in the case of Mike: Jesus of the Jungle. But, good for him. Next are Fuggies®. Sick of those drafty slippers? Well, try Fuggies® in 3 beautiful colors.
--------------
Today I volunteered. Only it's not really volunteering after you signed a paper saying you would for sure show up, because at first I didn't feel like showing up. But, despite that, it wasn't so painful. Kids are facinating when prizes, a blow up jumping place, and popsicles are involved. One mom left the blow up jumping place that the librarian rented for the kids a surprise...the kid was so excited she pretty much grinded her teeth, curled up into a ball and squealed with joy...then continued to jump around the library for the next 15 minutes. It was insane. It also costed over $300 to rent this thing soooo it deserves this dramatic emotion. This particular event was called Party in the Park. I learned that DQ gift certificates make children go ooOOOOoooo in unison. I learned that kids like Root Beer flavored popsicles. I learned that kids take fake paper money very seriously. But, I OBVIOUSLY know very little about kids.
----------------
My mom's goal for the day was to go without hearing or seeing the words Michael Jackson. Perhaps she suceeded in that goal, but I did not...apparently the news is obsessed. Though, I'm pretty sure the news died a few years ago with the economy. R.I.P.
----------------
I think Zumbro Falls is beautiful from the top of my hill. I can even see the pink from the Pussycat from my hill. Awkward? Yes, but the view is still priceless. If you pan to the left there is also a view of the rolling hills towards Zumbrota.
-----------------
So You Think You Can Dance in t-minus 18 minutes...I wish I could dance....*sigh*
-----------------
End.

I learned that DQ gift certificates make children go ooOOOOoooo in unison. I learned that kids like Root Beer flavored popsicles. I learned that kids take fake paper money very seriously. But, I OBVIOUSLY know very little about kids.

My mom's goal for the day was to go without hearing or seeing the words Michael Jackson. Perhaps she suceeded in that goal, but I did not...apparently the news is obsessed. Though, I'm pretty sure the news died a few years ago with the economy. R.I.P.
----------------
I think Zumbro Falls is beautiful from the top of my hill. I can even see the pink from the Pussycat from my hill. Awkward? Yes, but the view is still priceless. If you pan to the left there is also a view of the rolling hills towards Zumbrota.

So You Think You Can Dance in t-minus 18 minutes...I wish I could dance....*sigh*

Packages, Boxes, and Bags
The package arrived after work...and by that I mean JDK arrived at Hope's Harvest on a bike. We chatted a bit, but then I had to leave.
-------
Another "package" arrived. It wasn't really a package, but it was in a box. It was my new phone. It is awesome. It's much easier to text so maybe i'll start liking texting a bit more, but it still annoys me...whatever...we will see.
-------
I had an awkward dream last night...I kissed someone...that was all...but really...I'm not sure what's going on with my subconscious...no details of mystery man will be revealed.
---------
Ana dreamed my grandma and her grandma got cancer...ha weird, but I hope that doesn't happen.
----------
I worked today. My job is awesome. I love making wraps and smoothies and scanning stuff...awesome.
----------
I'll leave you be. I wish I could be of more interest. Someday. Someday soon.

La Chow
Tuesday. That was what today felt like. What does a Tuesday feel like? Today.
-----
I worked at Hope's Harvest with Ana. It went by really fast and was a great time. I feel like a competent worker capable of handling the jist of everything.
-----
After work Ana and I went to Nosh and had some Creme Brulee. It was delicious.
------
Then we hung out at her house. I had already got the vibe that she isn't fake and when I got to her house it reassured this. It was a good time.
-------
Then we met up with Ethan and Mike to go to a movie: My Sister's Keeper. Despite the tragic story, it was also a good time. The movie is a bit darker than I was expecting, but it goes how you expect it to and is good for what it is.
--------
I was glad to see one of my two favorites. And while we have decided that we are simply "buddies" or something along the line of important aquaintances, I'll take whatever it is for what it's worth and just go with it.
---------
I'm not sure what else to say really...I'm pretty tired. Almost done with a 7 day in a row stretch of work. Now I am currently watching The Office and eatting white rice with soy sauce. I thought the soy sauce was called La Chow and thought they were setting their company up for failure, but it turned out to be La Choy and I just shrugged my shoulders. About a week ago I saw donuts called Softees and I had a slight pain in my heart for the lack of creativity, but what should donuts be named?
-----------
I'm obviously tired. So I'll just go. And by go I mean shut down my computer and continue my rice and The Office.
-----------
My other favorite arrives home soon...and by soon I mean I became confused after I realized it's Monday and not Tuesday...so therefore he could be returning tomorrow at 5ish or Wednesday around 5ish...who knows...just as long as he arrives. I feel like I'm waiting for a package in the mail....
-----------
But seriously...goodbye, farewell, etc.

The Harvest of Hope
Today I worked at Hope's Harvest. A lot happend.
------------
JDK had told Susan about my Grapheme Color Synesthesia. Her and Linda were very curious about it and asked me questions about it all day. It was quite entertaining.
------------
I met a guy that is everything I want to be (except a guy). He travels around the world. He speaks French and Spanish. He eats healthy and is in shape, plus he has a great personality.
-------------
Susan's phone was acting weird...when someone would call a computer voice would say: "Call from...". It sounds really funny even though she doesn't like it. Josh's name is Jewish.
------------
Nosh had a lot of reservations cancel so I didn't have to work. I'm not sure how I feel about that so I'll just look at the positive. I was tired and now I get to relax.
------------
I made amazing smoothies and some great sandwiches. I'm becoming quite the pro.
-------------
I miss JDK, Mike, and my friends in Nebraska. It's hard to find something to do without them. At least Ana and I should be hanging out tomorrow...I think?

Work It
I had an amazing day at work today...it was busy and I was busy. I got complimented for my balance, which made me feel great that someone realized how difficult it is to balance different sized alcoholic drinks. It gets easier every time I do it though. So yay.
-----------
We also got paid today. My paycheck was the biggest it has been and I got more money in tips than I know what to do with now...not that the money truly matters to me, but it felt awesome.
------------
Today was also my mom's birthday. I went down to the place where they camp and said hello and gave her the present I got her. I'm sure they were shocked to see me because I hate going down there. But, I think I made both of my parents happy...and one of the people down there is an excellent cook and gave me food to take home and eat.
------------
Tomorrow is a working day...Hope's Harvest 10-2 and Nosh 6-?...I'll probably come in early to Nosh to take my alcohol test. I love my jobs...I'm excited.
------------
Adios!

She's Changed
Today my best friend from 3rd grade added me on myspace...damn she's changed. I guess I have too. I hope she gets a better life than she seems to have...maybe she's happy...but maybe not.
-----------
It facinates me that people who are best friends can be separated for years and then completely change...I'm not sure what influenced who I am...I'm just glad it happend the way it did.
------------
We used to play on the playground together and both loved cats. We were both a little shy, but she was a little more outgoing than me. She had family problems when I knew her, but I found it impossible to believe because she was so awesome. Her brother went to Juvie. I didn't know what that was until I saw his picture hanging on her wall and asked where he was. I always thought she would be the really successful one in her family. I don't remember her being very good at school...she was never a very good speller, but that didn't matter to me then so I never really noticed. We wrote notes back and forth and got in trouble a lot for it, but when the teacher would try to read them she saw how tiny our handwriting was and just commented about it.
-------------
In 4th grade we got different teachers...and all the elementary years after that. We never talked after 3rd grade.
------------
In 7th grade I saw her more, but she had changed and got in the wrong group. It always bothered me when people would talk about her behind her back because I couldn't let the girl I knew from 3rd grade who would always put a tiny half pony tail on the top of her head and let it fall over her eyes. But, despite that, she cut her hair, dyed it black, and pierced her lip...I didn't understand, but I never bothered to talk to her.
-------------
She moved at some point. I don't remember when...I just remember hearing it from someone and feeling terrible I never made an effort to talk to her...
-------------
She has a job now...she dropped out of school for a while, but then changed her ways and got in again...she smokes and drinks. I don't know her anymore besides what I saw on her profile...I'm not sure if I will contact her if she doesn't contact me...I'm not sure what I would say...I didn't in 7th grade either.
--------------
It's amazing how much easier elementary school is. Even if we thought it was difficult and exaggurated all our experiences. People's problems don't show then and we're all just innocent kids. I'd like to say I'm still a little bit of what I use to be and at the same time that I've changed for the better...but I can't help wishing she was still the same person and that I could spend hours playing on the playground with her and talking about things that wouldn't matter the next day.

Tom-Tom
Despite this disgusting cloudy weather today was refreshing for many reasons.
------------
I worked at Hope's Harvest with the lovely Ana. I get good vibes from her. We make a good team. We are also hanging out on Sunday. It shall be a good time.
------------
I also played tennis with Tom. I'm not quite sure what happend. There are one of many options: I had an off day, Tom had an on day, Tom is just better, Tom had lots of luck...ha...I'm not really sure...it could be a combination of all of the above. Anyways I did have a good time despite the frustration that I thought I could do better than I did, but the fun part was what matters and I did keep Tom running back and forth so that means I was doing something right. So yay.
--------------
Then we carried on a super long conversation that was awesome. We pretty much talked about everything under the sun and I really enjoyed that. I really respect him and am excited for upcoming events in his life. :) He also brought me back to more of the modern rock, christian rock, hard rock side of my music taste. So that's nice. We also spent around 2 hours in Subway. Hope they didn't hate us for it.
---------------
All-in-all a lovely day...nice job, nice conversation, nice food. Just nice everything. I finished my book today too. Zorro is an amazing book and anyone that likes adventure stories combined with beautiful writing should read it. Amazing is the only word to describe it.
----------------
My mom put a slight bump in my beautiful road, but she got over it and I got over it...so we're all good...she was being a little ridiculous, but we worked it out. So hoorah. We are going shopping together tomorrow to get me some college stuff. Woo hoo!
------------------
Anyways...it's late...I'm tired...Goodnight.
Oh...it's no longer Love-Love when you start off a game of tennis...it is now Tom-Tom.
