Raining, Raining, Raining*

Boy, I got almost no sleep last night. What silly weather we had.. a storm came through about every hour and a half, and I didn't really get to sleep until about 6:30 in the morning. I think maybe if I hadn't be up until 1 in the first place, watching every single Strong Bad E-mail I probably would've slept through it all. Or at least until the one at 3, which was particularly loud and noisy and other such things that a large rainstorm tends to be.

I wish my friends would make plans that don't always coincide with when I'm working. It's certainly not their fault, but I've missed everything they've done this summer because of my evil job (that gives me money, therefore must be preserved), and now it looks like I'm going to miss the big "Going Away/Birthday Par-tay" this Friday. It was bad enough that I missed Six Flags. And then, later that same day, I also couldn't go see Guster like I'd wanted because everyone that would've gone with me to see them was gone. But college is worth it... college is worth it... college is worth it....

What is with me and writing things in groups of threes for emphasis? I've only just noticed that, so I suppose I probably don't do it all that often, but still, it's now in two of my last three entries here.

Oooo, the mailman came, I think I'll be off to check to see if my AP scores are here yet. Not that they'll be all that exiting, but it's still something to do. (-:

Tye-Dyed Do-Rags at the Library*

I'm still fussing over the colours of this thing... I'm still not quite happy with them, either. Someday, I'll get it right. I've got nothing but trouble with backgrounds on my computer lately.. they keep changing without me telling them to.

My mom just got home from work, and joyfully informed us of the new "Teen Extreme" activity at the local library... they will be making "groovy" tye-dyed "doorags." I want to see this so badly... I believe they also had something where you made duct tape wallets (maybe they were then sent to some other company in the orient in some sort of bizarre, diabolical child labour/wallet-making scheme). They're trying so hard to make the library cool... it's really rather funny, but also very sad and pathetic. We're currently taking bets on how many people will show up for the do-rags. If I was still in 12th grade, I'd go make one, and then be the only freshman at the UofC with a tye-dyed do-rag. Though, it is possible that there might be someone else. Who knows.. perhaps tye-dyed do-rags are part of a vast, national library conspiracy. Perhaps they are already all the rage in Canada, and we just don't know about it yet.

We didn't get any mail at all today... I think that's really weird. Usually you get something, even if it is just a flyer for the local gentlemen's club or whatnot... I'm rather suspicious that someone drove by and stole all our mail while I wasn't looking. Of course, if you were going to steal someone's mail, wouldn't you leave at least the bizarre flyers, so it looked like they just didn't get anything? Perhaps some evil fiend is after my AP scores. I need those scores to either boost my confidence or reenforce my irrational fears of remedial math in the fall.

I wish AOL wasn't such a freaking stupid thing, and wouldn't freeze up all the time. At least now though, it doesn't freeze up completely, and you can still finish what you were doing... you just can't use anything else except the window you're in, and if you accidentally x it out, you can't open anything else back up. Ah, this poor 7 year old computer. At least I won't have to worry about it crashing on me so much soon, when I get my own. There is still much debate over whether or not I should actually get a laptop, since now my mom is afraid that I'm going to lose it. What am I going to do? Go leave it on a picnic table somewhere and walk away? I think I'd be a bit more careful than that, especially since I'm the one that has to pay for it. I'm off to Cleveland tomorrow to check out all sorts of laptops and such, so maybe I'll be lucky and find something. (-:

Browsing "Blogs"*

Hehehe! There's the word blog again! Drat.. I said I wouldn't say that anymore, didn't I? .... must fix it... And, in a blatant HTML-ing experiment, they should now be crossed out. And if they aren't... ah well. I find the number of blogs online that seem to be mostly about how they were cheated on by their respective others.. The world is a scary, scary place, but why would people post things like that online? Umm... maybe I should shut up, since this is going to get hypocritical rather quickly.

WHY DOES EVERYTHING I OWN SMELL LIKE POPCORN NOW??? Blasted movie theatre, making everything smell like popcorn and Steel-Brite. Really, I'm amazed that the popcorn doesn't taste like Steel-Brite, considering how much of it gets used daily. Perhaps that special movie theatre popcorn taste actually does come from it, and no one has really realized it yet, except for the supreme rulers of the theatre industry... who are, incidentally, the ones who also make all the money from the 3.50 candy and bottled water, and the 5 dollar Steel-Brite popcorn.

Well, really I just wanted to post again so this would be on the front page of the blog journal homepage thing so random people wandering around the web like myself might happen across it. I believe I'll be off to change the cursèd links on the side of this page. And maybe attempt to find kinder colours.
