July 9 2003
[2:41pm] Okay, children, don't let's get antsy now. I'm nearly finished with the new layout. It is rockolicious. It is red, red, red, black, and grey. Like that Counting Crows song. "I will paint my picture / Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray..." Minus the blue. And it's not a picture of me. Well, sorta. You'll see. Be excited!!!

July 8 2003
[7:49pm] Getting a smaller paycheck than you expected sucks. But this rocks: "I hate when shirts hug my armpits and keep them tight. Nothing should ever do that and it makes me angry."

July 4 2003
[10:17pm] What a boring day. Boring all around. From all day until 6, I sat around and watched Twilight Zone episodes and then baseball, and then 6-10 I worked. It was absolutely dead there. I think in the last hour I was there, I probably made a fat three sandwiches. Craziness. Well, UNcraziness. Everyone just really wanted to go outside and set off fireworks, but that's definitely silly since we're a Wendy's hooked onto a QT (which is a gas station, for all y'all non-Midwesterners. Or if you don't have QTs.) Anyway, no fireworks. But I did get a raise!! Yahoo!! That's all for today. Bright and early tomorrow, a 9-4 at work.

July 3 2003
[9:11pm] Jigga, jigga. Jigga WHAT? "The specimen, which remains on the beach, looks like a huge lumpy piece of slippery rubber in the shape of a squashed elephant.".. What a large, stimulating group of adjectives.

[11:17am] Looks like I didn't finish anything yesterday. Not even the t-shirt. I made the fingers too stubby & fat, not menacing enough. And as you can tell, no new layout. Unfortunately for you, I have to work 1-8 today, and there's stuff that I have to do after that. So cry into your little pink pillows, kids, but I just can't do anything today. *Waltzes off, singing, She works hard for the money, so you better treat her right* (Even though a waltz is entirely inappropriate for this song, since waltzes are for 3/4 time. Right?)

July 2 2003
[11:30am] No work today, but I am busy designing a t-shirt submission for Threadless. I have a feeling that this t-shirt submission might end up as the layout here. Just a guess.

July 1 2003
[8:34pm] Okay, so five hours=long, when you ALWAYS have customers. Today was steady, busy, beastly. I don't like having only one manager person around. I like having about three or four, because I need help a lot. I was so bad at my job today. I was on sandwiches for a while, which was fine. I don't mind being busy on sandwiches. But then they put me on front line, and I hate people. I just kept messing up orders and not giving correct change.. What a day. I quit. (Not my job. I need money. My check! I got my check! $155.98!! Yay!!)

[1:55pm] Stopped by the school with Kristen and Joey yesterday. Strange. It seemed like all the colorguard girls (now that I've graduated) try to distance themselves, and probably 6 weeks ago, they were all quite fond of me. At least Lori was friendly. Everybody else was just, "Stay away and be perfectly serious." Or maybe I'm paranoid. But I think not. Today I took all my change that I found on the floor in my house and my car to Schnucks and put it in the Coinstar machine. It came out to $19. Bonus. I love money. :) Speaking of, I get my check from last week's payday today. It'll be my first day back from vacation. I hope that I'm on sandwiches. I'm not feeling very people-y today. I could do either, though. I'd be okay. Five hours=not that long. Money money money!! P.S. When I get a day of nothing (like tomorrow), I'm gonna try and design a new layout. I've had this one since April. Silly me.

June 30 2003
[2:53pm] What a beautiful day. I discovered the warm admiration of Rebecky today. "She posts prolifically, often writing about such topics as cleaning her room or picking up her brother ... Her cheery upbeatness is kind of hypnotic." If the tone weren't so sincere, I'd think they were making fun of me. But I enjoy that, too. Thank you 100%!

[10:13am] Hey kids. What a.. whatever! I went with Joey to S&J's and I met his brother and saw Jennifer T again. She was the drum major my freshman year, so it was excellent and odd to see her again. I'd heard so much about Joey's brother that I was kinda nervous to meet him, but that was all peaches as well. After S&Js we went to Target to visit Kristen, who hadn't seen me yet because I just got back from Florida earlier in the day. So we located her and we whisper-shouted, "Kristen [Rudquer]!!!!" And she ran over and jumped on me and all was well. So since our movie didn't start until 9:35, we hung around until Target closed, just tagging along with Kristen, who cracked me up with her baby-clothes hanging antics. "It has to look full." What if there's only one item on the hanger? *scoots it to the middle* "Oh, it's full, honey!" Then we left, on the terms that, since Kristen got off work, we would all go do something (all=Kristen, Robertle^the nicest guy alive, other than my Joey^, me, and Joey) today. So I'm looking forward to that. But then Joey & I saw 28 Days Later. Disturbing, but it inspired a thought-process in me, which is good sometimes. So they call the disease "The Rage", right? And Rage=Hatred, no? And I tend to think that most hatred is rooted with ignorance. So when the infected guy goes and sees what he is in the mirror, that's knowledge, right? Knowledge cures ignorance, and the hatred, and "The Rage." It ought to, but it doesn't in the movie. So garglesnurf. Anyway, that was my night. I'm taking my car over to the Saturn dealership today at 1:30. Happy happy, I'm getting my A/C fixed. It's summer and the A/C is broken. Bad. But fixing today!!

June 29 2003
[5:43pm] Okay. I'm back. Florida was lovely. I'm gonna take a shower.

June 18 2003
[7:58pm] Don't expect to hear anything from me for a while. I'll be busy soaking up the solar rays of our nearest star, the sun. Yes, that's how summer is. Alas for you and yay for me. I'm gonna miss my friends very much, but don't cry a lot.

June 16 2003
[4:44pm] It is a very warm-fuzzy thing to receive (I need to learn how to spell that correctly, once and for all, before I go to college) an e-mail, saying simply, "You're beautiful." And that's it. And I enjoy sending one back along the lines of, "You're beautifuller."

[11:05am] I went to the school to pick up my diploma and drop off my brother and Tymka, and report cards were available, too. So I picked that up as well.
 
Don't hate: celebrate!
 
June 15 2003
[11:40am] So yesterday was pretty awesome and tasty (PAAT). I went cosmic bowling with Kristen and Joey, that was entertaining. My highest score was 123 (and I tied Kristen in that game.) I think my lowest score was like a 52 or something pathetic. Yeah. I suck. But it was awesome fun. "So let me summarize this song, just to get it straight. I don't care if I'm drunk, just give me a bounce bounce, toot-beep. Am I right?" "I LOVE REVERSE, GOSH DANG!!!" It was lovely.

June 14 2003
[5:51pm] "LUMINA! AWESOME!"

[1:53pm] So much to do! I have to go to Walgreens to pick up the prescriptions, deposit my paycheck and the gift from Lynn & Charlie, get some lunch, finish putting clothes away, clean my room, and a million other things. Sigh. Better get going.

[1:03pm] Whoever wrote that commercial for the Carefree pantyliners or whatev should get a new job. "Air... it's in the air." (Wow, now that I look at that, air looks like a really weird word.) But you suck, Carefree writer.

[12:08pm] Happy 18 years and 1/4 birthday to me! Yesterday was the busiest day. I started off by trying to go to the mall to buy my dad a present, but the roads were all wet, so I gave up and just took my brother to drumline practice. I got to the school and saw Joey a little bit and then went to the office for my immunization record (which is necessary for me to go off to college.) So that sent me off into a wild goose chase because nobody knew where it was, but three hours later I found myself with a copy of immunization record, so that was peachy. I faxed it to the doctor's office, but they said that the doctory report thing that I gave them Thursday morning wouldn't be done until Monday morning. GAHH! It's due Monday!! So I have to go back to the doctor's office and make sure to mail it off on Monday. Then I went tanning and bought the dad's day present and then picked my brother up from drumline. After that, I watched Empire Records, and I think it's going to be one of my favorite movies, because of the characters. They're all so quirky and none of them even comes close to perfect, so it's great. Then I went to work 4-8 and I worked front register and we had a busload of Girl Scouts come in and I almost died. They made a huge mess and took forever to deal with, but we managed to serve them and not cry too much. Then I got my check, which was for like 6 hours of work, and it was $22.40! :) That's with all the deductions and the $10.00 that I had to pay for shoes.. but it's money. No making fun of my measly twenty bucks, okay? It's money. After work, Joey & I went to Burke's house and we watched Adaptation, and it was very strange. I don't think I understood the movie very well, because I'm still putting pieces together, I think. Anyway, home by 11:30, and sleeeeep. Now I'm hungry.

June 12 2003
[8:39pm] And for all you nay-sayers who are all determined to think that I am eight feet tall, I would like to refute that with my doctor's office official measurement of height: 70 and 1/2 inches. Which equals out to five feet, ten and a half inches. Yeah!

[5:06pm] I never want to work frontline again. Never, ever. You know why? Because when I was working sandwiches, I never was spoken rudely to. Oh, and I was, today. Frontline, spoken rudely to, the works. AHHHH!!! It's my freakin first day, people, why must you try and make it harder? "Would you like to Biggie Size that--oh, sorry, you said you didn't want to.. never mind." "Yes, THAT'S RIGHT. I DIDN'T WANT THAT BIGGIE SIZED, JUST LIKE I SAID." (Goodness!!!!!) Not the mention that I was such a mess today anyway.. sigh. I cry. Now I go Dad's Day shopping.

[8:17am] You know what's perfectly awful? Okay, so I didn't have to work Monday-Wednesday and I was soooo happy because I was going to get so much done--housework, laundry, organize my room, etc. I went out Monday night, and then the power went out Tuesday night. So of course Tuesday and Wednesday I didn't get anything done that I had wanted. Argh. And I work today and tomorrow. Agh!

June 11 2003
[9:40pm] Wow, did that ever suck! (Yes!) Not the party. The party was tremendous and awesome, and I'll have to describe that to you at a later time. What I am referring to as sucky is the gigantic power outage that occurred for roughly the last 36 hours. But, thank goodness, it ended just when we got home from the YMCA this evening. And I am overjoyed. The only way that I could be any happier would be if I got to talk to my beautiful boyfriend tonight. However, that may not happen. But I'm going to shoot him an e-mail and that'll be good enough for me. But yes, I am alive. Yes, I do have a doctor's appointment at 11-something, and then work 2-5. Yes, I enjoyed my Monday off, but the Tuesday and Wednesday were a little weak--even if I did get some beautiful shopping done and a lot of Kristen time in. Tomorrow will be busy and crazy, especially with some Dad shopping tacked on at the end of the day. But for now, I retire because I went swimming and I still feel like I'm floating in the shallow end of the pool. Woooooo...

June 9 2003
[5:50pm] Yay. Tonight is Marika's party and I'm going. I got her a nice little present. I'll tell you how the party went tomorrow.

[7:43am] *Shudder* I hate 7:43 a.m. Stupid sunlight streaming into my room, waking me up. Blasted, bloody sunshine. Gah. So there are several things I'd like to do today, the first and most important of which is to offer a big humongo giganto magnanimous WOOT to my friend Keeblerianaofjakalsda because I am so happy for her. And then the next thing will be to start cleaning my room. (This isn't a thing that I'd specifically LIKE to do, but it's on my list of things TO do.) Then call Keebie and go tanning and pick up a Germantype present for Marika, whose going-away party is this evening at Parkton Pool. I don't know quite what to get her: honestly, I wasn't the closest of friends with her, but I think it'll be fun and I like giving presents, so yeah. And then after all that running around, I'll finish cleaning my room because I probably won't finish in the morning (darn re-runs of ER have me hooked! no wonder it was a hit for like 9 years or whatev!) And then I'm going to organize my CDs and scrapbook and try to even do some laundry before the big partay. We'll see what happens.

June 6 2003
[11:55am] I realize, after reading my last edition of WGI's newsletter thingy Focus, that I cannot live without winterguard. Rhodes will simply have to comply with my wishes on this and I will have to start the first winterguard there. We may suck, but we will exist. And if it's only me on the guard, I'll cry. I just can't handle a distinct lack of winterguard in my life. Looking at pictures of Fantasia and everybody in the world (which I'll show you later), I break down. I need winterguard a lot.

June 5 2003
[7:15pm] Wow. I am quite tired. Shower time. And then I'll tell you about all the lovely people at Wendy's.

[11:02am] A quick trip to the tanning place and then home. I bought THE CUTEST swimsuit yesterday. Everything is just peachy except that I have to work 2-7 today. It'll be okay, though. I don't mind the actual work I do, it's the waiting around forever and ever for the little clock thing to tick away my five hours that gets on my nerves. I like the people okay, too. I'll just go tanning and get myself into a nice sunny mood for work. And things will be pleasant. They have to be, or I'll never make it through the shift.

June 3 2003
[12:53pm] I don't want to go to work today. It's a 4-hour shift and I'm sad. But I had a really good morning - Kristen and I went to the high school to clean out our band lockers and I found like all my winter clothes and I saw Joey and Chris B and it was wonderful. And then Kristen and I went tanning and she has so many freckles!!! It's awesome. My stomach hurts a lot. I should take some Pamprin and then get ready to go to work.

June 1 2003
[9:56am] I am so happy. So. Happy. What a wonderful world. Last night Shawn, Kristen, Joey and I went to the movie theater and saw Wrong Turn. Where that movie was not so awesome, my friends and fellow moviegoers are. "That was a nice shot!" "*GRUNT*" "*giggly*" "Wehrenberg!" Hahaha. Fun. I'm happy.

May 30 2003
[2:40pm] I was a very good girl this morning and I went to the YMCA and exercised for an hour. Yay, 300 calories burned off. And then I went straight to McDonalds and got a small fry and Diet Coke. Sigh. Disappointing, but I felt I deserved the treat, even if it defeated the purpose of going to the Y. Ah well. In a little bit, I'm going with Shawn to DQ to see if we can't get him a job.

May 29 2003
[5:07pm] Well, that wasn't as humiliatingly awful as I was anticipating. In fact, the people are just as nice as I thought they were. When I went in before, I sort of met Kevin, a guy on grill, and he was just as nice as could be, but today I met Joyce (a type of manager person and she seems okay enough), Jessica (very informational and very job-focused), Kenny (guy on grill, a little weird, but in a good way.. "I feel like Sponge Bob Squarepants." "Why?" "I am not sure."), Courtney (very, very nice and informational, really showed me the ropes, gave me hints and stuff), and James (another grill guy, he's going to be quite a source of hilarity. For example, Courtney and him: "Single." "I heard you OKAY, no need to yell at me, Courtney!" "Okay. I didn't mean to. I'm sorry." "You hurt my feelings when you yell." "I apologize." There was no yelling. Only hilarity.) So I'm tired and hungry but I'm going over to Kristen's tonight to continue Rob Schneider Movie Fest (last night was The Hot Chick and tonight's movie will be Deuce Bigalow). But I won't stay too late because I'm a little cansada already.

[1:21pm] I go into Wendy's in a little while (2-5) to train. Excited?

May 26 2003
[8:09pm] Don't you think that if we.. no. Don't you think that if I could tell the future, everything would just be a lot simpler for me? And I wouldn't even want to see a lot of things, like how it turns out 15, 20 years from now. All I want to know is a week in advance, about this job. Not the Wendy's job. The other one that I won't write about because if I write about it, it's jinxed. I've said too much already.

May 24 2003
[6:46pm] Painted the bathroom. Warning: not for the weak of heart. It's DANG yellow.
 
Yellow like you like it!
 
May 23 2003
[1:05pm] By the way:
 
Mmmm-hmmm!
 
[9:52am] So I cleaned the bathroom. And now I gotta shower and uh.. get dressed to go back to Wendy's uh-gain.. Take em my passport and POCs.. Gahhh.

[8:21am] Gah. I haven't been up this early since, like.. graduation. A week ago. A note: whenever I see articles or anything about this new NBA fellow LeBron James, I think that his name is just being spelled backward. For code purposes. Like his real name is Norbel Samej, from some Mideastern country. This is silliness. Today is a big day! I start off by eating some pizza (or waffles. I haven't decided yet.) Once fed, I watch maybe just a little bit of teev. Like 30 minutes. Maybe. And then I begin to clean the bathroom downstairs, because it needs it and then I can redecorate it and paint it this weekend. Fun! But the painting and stuff comes later. I don't know what happens in the afternoon -- I think a guy is coming to look at the air conditioner or something, but today is a half day for all the kids still in school and I'd like to go out to lunch or something. We'll see. Definitely the movies tonight. I hope.

May 22 2003
[8:45pm] Okay, not to burst all your bubbles, all you kids, but when you write in purple text on black backgrounds, I can't read it. So shape up, or you'll lose your loyal readership (me!) ;)

May 21 2003
[3:42pm] *booty dance* I HAVE A JOB, I HAVE A JOB!! *snap, snap* *bling blang walla walla bing bang oo ee ooh aah aah ting tang walla walla bing bang!* I shouldn't be this happy to be working at Wendy's, but $5.75 is better than nothing. And I should know. Gahhhh, gotta go pick up my brother.

May 20 2003
[5:12pm] Good things are afout. I know it.
 
Becky: I love the English department.
Becky: Maybe, as an ode to them, I should just become an English teacher.
Joey: That'd be cool..
Becky: What are you gonna be?
Joey: Your husband.. duh..

May 19 2003
[10:27am] Before I go out job-hunting (which is my Major Crusade for the day), I have to update you on my life. Yesterday I went with Kristen and Joey to Steve's graduation party and a lot of people were there (Shawn, Chris B, Jon, Lauren, Melissa, and others). We got there at 2:00 and didn't leave until roughly 9:10, at which point we decided to go see the Matrix. (I'd already seen it so I was.. enh about it.) So we all went, and we got there a little early so we played some skee-ball and my highest score (my only score) was 220,000. So, I pretty much rule. (Oh, speaking of ruling, while I was at Steve's house, we played some video games that I haven't played in like 5 or 8 years, and I rule! Except for that "surfing" game, I suck at that.) Then we watched the Matrix and I just wanted to die the whole movie because it's so borrring. It was boring the first time, it was borrrrrring the second time. But at least I had my two best, Joey and Kristen, with me. Good times. Okay. Onward to the career-finding!!!

May 17 2003
[9:03pm] My Faerie Name is Fire Elfglow. (She is a cheerful sprite. She lives where fireflies mate and breed. She is only seen in the light of a full moon.) Isn't that awesome? And my Pirate Name is Dirty Bess Kidd (You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!)

May 16 2003
[9:28pm] Now I'm a high school graduate. Everyone is proud of me, but I'm just tired. I want to go to Kristen's house and watch Scary Movie and then go home and sleep til I can't sleep no more (Thank you English teachers!)

[1:52pm] You poor kids must be so confused about what I'm feeling right now, cuz all you're hearing is the negative. I'm happy, too. I'm out of the woods, and into a whole new biome (and I don't even know what it is.) I'm ready for an adventure, but I don't want to leave my little woodland friends behind. If you understand at all what I'm saying. So last night I went to see the Matrix 2 and that was nowhere near as awesome as the first one (special effects: amazing, but used in a sort of boring context.) That was with Kristen and Nick and a few of Nick's friends. And then after that I went with Joey to the mall. And tonight is graduation. I am so.. something.. I feel emotionally exhausted, even though I can't say that I really understand anything that I'm feeling right now. It changes too quickly for me to keep up. I feel only vaguely sentimental about Windsor, but the people -- I can't handle leaving them. But I don't have to, today. So I'll wait til August to see what sort of breakdowns I have. And I'll make sure to take lots of pictures of my horrid, wretched, writhing pain, so you can witness it all.

[6:26am] You all know what today is, and my stomach is hurting because of it.

May 15 2003
[6:38am] My horoscope for the day: "Getting out and working with groups may seem especially appealing today... You could also want to make a short trip out of town in the company of some friends. A bit of adventure is definitely in the wind for you, dear Pisces. Enjoy it!" Um, yes. Today is my last day of high school. Tomorrow I graduate. In the words of my dear friend Bob Dylan, *The times, they are a-changin'*. I fear I'm having a harder time with this than I thought. Random crying binges=not fun. Oh well. I have my waterproof mascara on, and I am prepared for the worst.

May 12 2003
[6:29pm] Yesterday was Andy K's birthday but he didn't tell anyone until today, when I asked him if his birthday was coming up. Poopster. Two things.

 
 
May 11 2003
[7:47pm] I don't know if you ever figured it out, but I did fix up Photography and Travels into one big awesome thingy: Photog. I probably should have called it something more clever like Photravel or Travephot or something, but I was too lazy. Um, yeah. I put up the pictures from Prom and from some May Madness (or as I like to call it: MAYhem.) Diviértete!

[4:49pm] It's exhaustulating being me. So I finished writing Jane Eyre. I'm so freaking happy I can hardly contain myself. You know what else I did? Mother's Day shopping, bathroom cleaning, and Spanish tape completing as well. I rule. Friday night-Saturday morning was the lock-in and I spent all my time with Kristen and Joey. I wuv my friends. I got my pictures back from Everything in the World.. so.. gah. I'll scan them later.

May 7 2003
[8:03pm] Everything has been all crazy lately. I don't even know where to start. Joey and I did a lot of fun stuff recently. Thursday I went to the Talent Show and watched everybody. I think Shauna won, but it's been nearly a week, so of course I don't remember. I do remember that afterward, Kristen, the boys from First Light (i.e. Joe, Chris, Rob), and I went to S&J's and had some icy goodness. The next day was Friday (obviously--that's the day that usually comes after Thursday), but it was a special Friday. It was the Seniors-Go-to-the-Park Friday. And I didn't feel like going to the same park as everyone else, so Joey and Kristen and I decided that we would have our own day out. We went to Mastadon, ate Sonic, threw some rocks in the creek, played on the playground, went to Kohl's and then made a mad dash to get Joey to work on time. Saturday night, Kristen, Joey, Shawn, and I all went over to Ceeb's house to watch movies. We watched The Ring first. That was some scary crap. Good thing I was lodged between Kristen and Joey and no scary little girl was gonna wedge in there with me to scare me. Unfortunately, Shawnee kept shrieking and scaring us. So.. yeah. Fun. Sunday, nothing I can remember. Monday, Joey and I went to the library for about 15 minutes and then to DQ because the library closed. Tuesday, a big huge long trek to try to find Jefferson College Library (unsuccessful) and then MUCH STORMING SCARY CRAP. I thought we were gonna die. But we didn't. Today: nothing big. I'll tell you about the TRP lab in a little bit. I have to continue writing this interesting (and I mean that in the least sincere way possible) Jane Eyre paper for Gentlebrown.

May 1 2003
[6:25am] P.S. I've been working on the photography/travels sections. You might even see some new folders in there, yay for you!

[6:04am] Happy May, kids! It's been one year since I got my driver's license. Yay. Monday: went to get my car inspection, passed, they said I needed a new serpentine belt soon (I might do this Friday afternoon.) Tuesday: sort of just hung around and did loads of homework until 5:30 at which point Kristen and I went out and watched talent show rehearsal, where there was a lot of tap-dancing (enh) and singing (eh) and First Light (eee!!) Yesterday: I went to the mall, not for conventional purposes of shopping, but for the less coveted purpose of getting a job. However, my luck was pretty good, and I got like 7 applications. I tried B. Dalton. I got the attention of the girl inside, I smiled at her and she gave me a less-than-enthusiastic look. I asked her, "Do you know if they're hiring here at all?" And she replied rather coldly, "We're actually closing in a month." Immediate silent calculations in my head retrieved me the fact that that would not be a long enough term for a job, so I said thank you and left. I tried the Icing. The assistant manager was on the phone for like 10 years (not with a business associate, I could tell) before she put it down and looked at me. In response to my query, she announced that they had just hired 4 new people (one of which is our beloved Kelly, and I had missed the hiring rush. And then returned to the phoning before I could say thank you and leave. Sigh. It is hard.

April 27 2003
[6:18pm] Hey kids, check it out! It's my new haircut.

[11:07am] So yesterday was prom and I went with Joey, who was WONDERFUL and very handsome. There's more to tell, but I have to get a haircut. That's just the important part. Oh, and Kristen's dress was awesome.

April 26 2003
[11:22am] Happy Prom Day, everah-boday! By the way, you need to buy Ben Kweller's CD "Sha Sha." It is necessary for your own well-being. No post yesterday because I felt seriously unstable -- physically and mentally. They were giving the "Don't Drink and Drive" speech yesterday (because today is, as everyone knows, Prom Day) but unlike last year, there were pictures of actual victims. Blood and gore and they were actual people. Dead. So with all this unloaded to me (a person that didn't NEED this, not planning to drink or being around drinkers), my stomach and brain were on upside-down and I spent most of the day resisting the urge to be sick everywhere. So I was pretty weak at the end of the day. However, I am glad that they gave the presentation because it probably reached one person.. it probably shocked one person that was previously unconcerned with the drinking/driving situation into thinking otherwise. So I'm glad. But I'm all better today. Spent the morning out trying to get a safety inspection on ol' Maxine, but no one will do it. Appointment made: 3:30, Monday afternoon. Gah.

April 24 2003
[9:10pm] Working on rearranging my room. I needed a change. Moved the bed and the desk. And maybe the vanity -- but that'll be later, cuz I can't do everything today.

[6:16am] Good times, good times.

Becky: goodnight.
Joey: goodnight..
Becky: goodnight.
Becky: haha, i already said that.
Joey: lol
Becky: bye.
Joey: bye.

April 23 2003
[6:33pm] I'm still trying to get a job. Even though I'm too early, all the would-be employers are saying that I'm too late in the season -- and that they won't be hiring until August/September. So wouldn't that make me early? Depends on your calendar. Ahh. I'm trying to clean my life up a little as well -- laundry, room, etc. Too much going on at once.

April 21 2003
[8:45pm] So today I went out job-hunting and things were ridiculous. I'm too early for the summer job rush, nothing has opened up yet. I'm trying a hospital and a management firm, and of course Target. We'll see how things turn out.

REBECCA
I am 18, tall, blonde. I have grey eyes and a Boston Terrier named Rosco. I'll be a senior in high school until May 16. I got a 30 on my ACT and a 1370 on my SAT. I marched 4 years of band and spun 2 years of winterguard. I have a lot of friends and take lots of pictures. I sometimes write poetry. I love music, but hate Jell-o. You'll find out more as we go along.
