Okay, FTP is being stupid and not letting me upload anything so I decided to write in here to waste as much time as possible so it can start working again, lol *sigh* Wonder what I’m gonna do today … probably not anything with Brad ’cause he’s gonna be exhausted from the anime thing … Shaune has work, I think … Anna’s never home … Brandon’s gone ’til Christmas in the army (*sniff* didn’t get to say goodbye … ), and yeah, that’s about all my local friends. I would do something with Christina, but she’s not on, and that’s like our main way of talking, haha. Hmmm … oh well, maybe I’ll go biking or read more of my annoying summer books — 70 pages in 1 down, 300 to go, and 3 more books after that … all due before Sept. 6. Haha, I’m screwed, but oh well. I’m stuck at school 4 days before it actually starts (WHAT THE FUCK?) so I’ll have plenty of time then to finish up any last-minute summer stuff. Dude, and I was all set to go to Baltimore yesterday, but when I talked to Brad about it on the phone, we decided that it wouldn’t work. The obvious reason was that I didn’t know squat about anime and that was all the people there were gonna talk about (I was just going to be with him & check out what anime is like) — but then there was no way to get to his house ’cause him picking me up was out of the way to get to Baltimore, the stupid bus left at the wrong time, and Dad still won’t let me drive to Fair Oaks … grrr — he was also really stressed out from having to drive 2 hours (more or less) there & back, plus there was an Orioles game yesterday so parking would’ve been insane. He also had to get gas, stop by his grandparents’ house, find a white ribbon for his friend’s costume, do laundry, and probably about a million other little things. And I definitely know how that can get annoying … man, I hope he’s okay. He told me he didn’t get to sleep ’til 4 am (and got up at 9 am) 2 nights ago ’cause he spent the whole night talking with his friends there … and then said that last night probably wasn’t gonna be any different. Well, he’s coming back this afternoon, so hopefully he’ll call me *sometime* today. If not, I’ll understand that he’s probably crashed out on the couch or something, lol. Oh, and I tried to apply for a job at Sam Goody last night while we were at Fair Oaks, but the manager said that there wasn’t enough time between now and when I start school for me to start. But then she said that if I come back during Thanksgiving break and apply for working most of Christmas break, then that would be good. Yay! ‘Cause I was really looking forward to working there (as weird as that may sound). I’m a huge music person, and it’d be my first job, so yeah. Hopefully I’ll like it Besides, I talked to some girl who worked there awhile ago, and when I told her that I was 16 (I’m 17 now) & didn’t have a job, she was like, “OMG, you have to work here!” Hehe … ’cause she was quitting that day for school or something. So I’m like, okay, why not? PLUS, Fair Oaks is like 10 minutes. from Brad’s house, so he could come & see me sometimes, hehe Anyway, well I’m gonna go & work on downloading songs for Dad’s CD now, so TTYL! Bye!
