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 3 2003 [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 1 2003 [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 [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!!

[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.
June 14 2003 [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 [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 9 2003 [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
June 5 2003 [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.

May 29 2003 [1:21pm] I go into Wendy's in a little while (2-5) to train. Excited?

May 24 2003 [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 16 2003 [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
May 12 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 1 2003 [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 [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.
