Ahh, the summer. I don't think I have really written since the summer began. It's been too eventful to really have a chance to write... yet at the same time, it's been the slowest summer of my life. I guess, so you can get an understanding of what I mean, I'll let you know what has occurred so far this summer (So, July). About a week or so ago, I quit my job. I hated my job. Sitting on the ground of a damp old office crowded with old and new newspaper articles; organizing them into individual files based on category, being paid below-minimum wage. I also got back together with Mr. X, had a few very enjoyable and hilarious times with Joy, and applied for a new job at a local Rexall. The last part, I did today. But guess what? I have to be fifteen, 'cause there's a Union! So, six more months, I guess - and then I can have my glory working as a cosmetologist at Rexall Pharmacy. Ah, those will be the days. So till then, I have to find another job - and I'm not sure where to work. Every place that is available has a reason why not. Video Store? Jackie, intimidating girl that stares at you and doesn't talk works there. Movie Theater? Morgan, girl who bothers you constantly about Mr. X and is best friend's brother's girlfriend works there. Grocery store? Faith, girl I used to go to school with and know well works there - but now is really awkward to be around.
It seems I'm always avoiding places based on the employees. Maybe I shouldn't. Maybe I should just go ahead, take the job. But the thing is, I'm chicken. So what must I do? I would highly appreciate feedback on this matter, for otherwise I could become broke. To contemplate this affair, I shall write the third chapter of 'Small Town Desperation' and spend time with Mr. X. Once he is done work, of course. For HE has a job working in a kitchen at a golf course restaurant. Lucky duck. Hm, well, whatever.
I'm going to go read FML's on FMyLife.com now.
With several loves going out to you all
