Just When It Starts to Get Better, It Gets Worse

So I was having to get up before six and be to work by seven. Now I won't have to be at work till nine thirty. This seems like something good, but that is wrong. It's bad because I'm being cut three hours. I won't be making nearly as much as I would of been. Totally sucks. I feel like I should just quit and have really nothing to do all summer. I need something to do. I have never really liked summer. It's too hot, and I'm always bored. I've always liked winter more. At least I've made friends with a couple of my co-workers. The only ones close to mine and my sister's age. These guys are I think at least twenty-one. I wish I was twenty-one. Being eighteen is not what it's cracked up to be. I have yet to buy a lottery ticket or go to a club. I feel like I've been jipped out of being eighteen. It's been all my choice though. So it's my fault if I haven't been living it up being eighteen. I need to get out, and do something. Now since I only work from nine thirty to one thirty, I might have some time to do something actually exciting over the summer. Now what will I choose to do? So many choices in a small town like mine. I think I would rather go on a road trip and just get away from everything. Maybe I will. I just need people to go with, because a solo road trip is no fun. I can't count on my sis going with me, she can be a total bore, and never wants to do anything fun. I somethings wonder how we're related, then I remember she looks almost exactly like me. So I know we have to be related, or Mom managed to find my doppelganger and adopt her. So I'm going to go think about what I should do to have fun in what is the most boring town in the world. Maybe they'll be something to post about later, probably not.

Does it Get Any Better? The Answer is...

NO! What I am referring to is my job. It's just awful. It's too hot to be sitting outside all day waiting for people, and I have much better things I should be doing instead of preparing and serving(not actually) to people. Most of the time no one shows up. Today we didn't even go to one place, because they decided to stop serving there. So my sis and I had 30 minutes to waste before we had to be at the next destination. We just went ahead and drove to the next destination because it's all the way on the other side of town from where we were, so it takes forever to get there anyways. Yesterday we were late to every destination, not that any one was there or that anyone noticed. Today we were early to every place. I wonder if we'll ever be exactly on time. Tomorrow is the last day I have to go through this torture for this week. Next year, I plan on finding a different job. It's money, but I'd at least want to like my job, but still it's money, and I need that, right? Right. I'll just keep telling myself everyday when I have to get up before six during the summer, and have no time really for anything else. Yea telling myself that will definitely work. No, it's never going to work. I have to deal with it anyways. This really sucks. Blah, blah, blah. Something, hopefully, will brighten my spirits soon, or not.

Work Is Such a Bore

As I am writing this I'm sitting on concrete waiting for people to come get food. It seems utterly pointless to be doing this. I thought someone would of shown up by now but no. All I get is someone in a Lexus who just parked here, and not doing anything. Also some old man keeps driving by. Wow! My job is fun. What my job is is this summer feeding program, where me and some other people including my twin sis, fix lunch and hand it out to kids in different communities in my town. It's something my mom's boss decided to try out this year. So at the places I went to, because right now I'm actually off work, no one showed up. Maybe it was because it's a holiday or because my sis and I looked like we didn't really want to be there, so no one wanted to approach us. No one even bothered to come up to us, so maybe it wasn't us. Who knows.

I was so bored earlier, I decided to try out my mobile posting. It worked pretty good. I just have no idea how to add a title and all that. So I will try it again some other day. Right now, I'm typing this on my laptop. So much easier than trying to do it on my tiny keyboard on my Palm.

Oh, my job gives me so much joy! Yea, I'm never going to say that again.  I just hope it gets better. Maybe someone will actually show up tomorrow. I hope so, or I'm really going to regret that I that I told my mom I'll work this. Wish me luck that it turns out better tomorrow.

Can You Ever Possibly Read Enough?

I ask myself, do I read too much? Sometimes I think the answer is no. I think this because I ask others what they have read so far this year, and they seem to have a lot. Sometimes I have never heard of the books they read and sometimes I have but have yet to read it. Sometimes I find myself answering the question yes. The other day I went to the bookstore, and I couldn't decide which book to get. I never leave a book store without two or more books. I had a ton in my hand the other day, all books I was dying to read. I ended up only getting two because I did not have enough money to get more. Oh, money. How I wish I could have more than enough, so I could get any book I wanted. Sadly this is not true, and I have to always narrow down my choices by which ones I really, really want to read. Or sometimes by which one is cheaper. It's always a tough choice, but I do either go back and buy the other books another time or find it at my library.


So what I really want to know, can I really ever quench my thrist for reading? I think not. I'm pretty sure that never will be possible. I use to think back in middle school that I'd never pick up a book again. Middle school somehow ruined reading for me. I didn't really get back into it till close to the end of the eighth grade. It's not like I didn't read at all in middle school. I was forced to so I could earn points each quarter for a grade. I hated being forced to read books because they were on the list of books that you could earn points from. I usually just read books that weren't on them, and also the books that were assigned in class. I think the first quarter of my sixth grade year was the only time I got all the points that I was required to get. It's not like it affected my grades that much, just how much I read. Now I think that I'll never go a day without at least picking up a book and reading at least a few pages of it. I'll probably be like my awesomely, blunt mother and read books, but just skim them and skip all the boring parts. I already do that now with some books. Most of the time I read a book word for word. My mother rereads books, and I barely do that. I read a book because I don't know what's going to happen. Rereading, I'll already know what's going to happen. It just ruins it for me. Except sometimes I haven't read a book in a few years and maybe I've forgotten what was going to happen. Then maybe I'll reread it, or if it was extremely good, and I just have to pick it back up again. I just know that I'll always be a book worm, and I'm proud of it!

Can I Ever Stick With the Same Thing???

So I can never seem to keep the same template for either of my blogs. I am constantly changing. Like just a few minutes ago, I switched from a star lamp as my background, to a coffee cup. On my other blog, I use to have some books as my background, and now have a guy holding a camera. I'm just wandering if I'll ever stick with one for more than a month. I don't think people really care if I do. I notice a lot of other blogs change how they look too. They just don't seem to change it as much. I've changed my book blog template a few times, and I haven't even had this blog a month and I've already changed it twice. I'm also wondering if this will happen with other things in my life. If I'll be able to stick with my chosen major, or keep changing it. Will I want to change colleges after just one month. I hope not, this is my dream school.

Life sucks, just to let you know. Maybe not to you, but to me it does. I'm so wishing I could just not think and worry about things, but that's all I do. Argh!!!!!!!!!!! I just want to scream some times. This is so not on topic, but who cares about that. So as with last Friday, and yesterday, today is really boring. This one's short, I just don't feel like blogging that much today.

Who Doesn't Love Roller Coasters and Music?

So Sunday I went to Six Flags Over Georgia. I haven't been in about 3 or 4 years. I really do love Six Flags, even if I don't get to go every year.My favorite rides are Superman, Goliath, and Batman. So on Sunday they were having the Bamboozle Roadshow which featured All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, Hanson, Good Charlotte, Forever The Sickest Kids, Cartel, and Cady Groves. There were other bands, but they were playing in a different area, and I didn't get to see them. I don't really care too much for Hanson or Cady Groves. I was mainly there to see All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, and Cartel. I had heard of Forever the Sickest Kids before the show, but hadn't heard any of their music. I don't know why, I realized I loved every one of their songs that they played. They also were one the best performances of the day. The show started at 2 something and didn't end till almost 8. So my friends, sis, and I rode a few rides before the show including Goliath and Superman, and rode Georgia Scorcher after the show before we headed home. I really wanted to ride more, but I wanted to see this concert more. I can always go back and ride roller coasters some other day, this concert was only going to happen one day. So Sunday became more exciting than Friday, and today is just as boring as Friday was. I am so wanting to go back to Six Flags, and ride some rides. I also really want to go see another concert. Like who wouldn't want to see these bands perform? Honestly, Martin, the lead singer for Boys Like Girls, is kind of crazy. I knew he acted weird, but I have never been to one of their concerts before, so I didn't know how weird. I liked him though. He was just being himself, and he even challenged some guy out in the audience who didn't seem to like Hanson that much. But the guy couldn't get up on stage because it was against Six Flags' policy. Whatever. It's what he told us. I also didn't think that All Time Low band members were going to be like they were. The guitarist, Jack, was always running around, you didn't always see him on stage. He also went out in the crowd once. Him and Alex, the lead singer and guitarist, would talk after some of the songs, and it was hilarious. They would argue, and they fought over some hat that someone in the audience threw up on stage. Jack tried to get a hat from someone that looked like a rabbit. Alex threatened to throw picks at her till she did. Forever the Sickest Kids acted the same way. Their lead singer was my favorite. Over all, I think I will go see each of these bands in concert again. I'm hoping that later on in the summer, I can go to the Vans Warped Tour. Who knows if I'll actually be able to.

Friday Can be Just as Boring as Monday

So it's Friday, and what do I have to do today? Nothing that's what. I have school work I need to be doing, but do I feel like doing it? The answer would be no. My mom gets off early today, so if she decided that we're going, I may go to the outlet mall and buy a new dress or skirt for my sister's graduation tomorrow. My mom may decide not to let me get a new dress and I'll be stuck with one of my old ones which I don't want.
So besides having nothing to do, today is boring because it's raining. It has been sunny all week and today it decides to rain. Normally when it rains, and it's not some bad thunder storm, my sis and I watch a movie. We've always thought rainy days were the best movie days. If it looks like rain, or just started to rain, we always go, "Movie time," and then pick out a movie to watch that we've probably watched a million times. I think we get this from elementary school. We always watched movies back then when it rained and we couldn't go outside for recess. Oh, the good ole days. I'm just hoping it doesn't continue to rain all weekend. Sunday I plan on going to Six Flags with my sister and some of our friends. I have already paid for the tickets. It was not just for a one day pass, they're also having a concert that day. The Bamboozle Roadshow, which features All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, Cartel, and many others. I absolutely love All Time Low and Cartel, and I do not want to miss out on this. So I'm hoping that the Big Man Upstairs will decide not to have it rain Sunday. It's the first time in like two years I will be going to Six Flags, and I really want to ride Goliath and see this concert. Don't let me down please. You know, now that I've asked for it not to rain, I've probably jinxed myself. Oh well, maybe they'll reschedule it. So I'm going to continue my boring Friday with nothing to do, and hope that I get to go shopping and see All Time Low.
