im sooooo bored!! aaaaaahhhhhh! Im off work today and tomorrow. I was happy bout that....after yesterday's chaos....geez...any thoughts of being an elementary school teacher or working w/ lotsa little kids have all gone out the window. But now i sorta wish i was workin 2day....its somethin 2 do and usually fun (or at least funny). Steph and my cousin both are workin now...they'll get off soon tho...at 4pm or so. So basically im by myself. My brother is sick, so he's pretty much drugged and out. Lets see what i've done today. hmm...slept til about 11:00. Then went on a good half-hour bike ride. I was feelin hyper. Then i decided to read a little more of a book for school, but then realized i had left my only highlighter at work. So i walked all the way to the arcade for the stupid highlighter. When i got back, i was a little hungry so i got some lunch. Then the t.v. was on and i started watching soaps. They are kinda cool. The people are alwayz rich and over-react...but they are fun to watch. I was watching Young and the Restless then the Bold and the Beautiful. The first was ok..the second one is too slow. Then i went on another bike ride, then read a little "Lord of the Flies." now im online. hmmm...fun day. riite.

I keep thinkin about skool...can u believe it guys??? we're SENIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im sooooo happy! tho....im a bit skeptical about how this year will be. They changed the schedule so its all f*d up.....what do we call this schedule?? we were on an 8-period day schedule. Now...we're on...like....an 8-period schedule only some AP classes are double periods and some arent. Thats gonna be screwy. Some pple will have 8 classes...some will have as few as 4. I have 5.....well...4 and a lunch, but if no ones in my lunch ima become an aid for someone. Thats the worst thing:walking into the cafeteria and not recognizing anyone. Thats one thing about goin to such a big school....i still probably know less than half the pple there. I see pple i've never seen b4 everyday. its weird. i think it would be sooo weird going to a school where everyone knows everyone. In a way...it could be cool cause u'd never fell alone. But...on the other hand...there's pple i dont wanna kno, and then there's pple that i dont want to kno me. So i guess big schools can be good there. o well. back to the schedule issue. Knowing Oxon Hill....watch the first day or so be completely screwed up. I mean, the teachers i talked to at the end of the year were all like "i dunno whats up next year....they never had this schedule b4." Watch some classes have like....20 kids in them...and others have like 50. I think it will be very messed up. Watch them change the schedule back after this year. ha. haha. mayn...that would suck. Y are we always the guinea pigs???? I tell ya...they just love screwin '04 over....o well...1 more year....OH YEAH!!!

O....M...G.....this was the WORST day of work so far of the summer!! ok...like i said b4, im working at a snack bar/arcade...and i work in the snack bar. Today it was me, Steph and Brian scheduled to work, but Brian had told me b4 that he might not come in cause the days have been dead the past week so i said ok. well...it would have been ok. ha. haha.
Trish comes in to let us in at 10am. She is all stressed cause the health inspectors or whatever are supposed to come in mid-july (aka....now) and they need to keep an "A." well....she left around 11am and it was just me and Steph. But it wasn't busy, so it was cool. but then....(dun dun dun...) the machine that gives tokens for the arcade broke. So i put up a sign saying to get tokens from the snack bar. well...me and Steph only had the keys to about 2 machines to get tokens out of. And they didn;t have much tokens in them. Meaning we had just about no tokens to give out. So im going around opening up all these machines trying to find a few tokens... Meanwhile all these kids are coming and buggin me 4 tokens. Soon i have a mob of like 20 little kids following me around! im like...go away!!! i dont have any tokens!!!

Finally, Steph called Brian and he came and fixed the machine around 2:30pm. Then things got better.

But then, there were these 3 boys....gosh...i hate them so much! ok....im helping this little girl, when this lady comes up to me and is like "those kids are hitting that baseball mashine w/ the pool stick to get free games." So i was like...ok ill watch them. i thought they were up to somethin, cause they had pool sticks by that game, and the pool tables and rack for the sticks are clear on the other side of the room. well...i saw them beating on the machine, so i went off on them and was like "i dont wanna see any pool sticks on this side of the room. They go in the rack or use them w/ the pool tables" and i went off and yelled at them, and threatened to get security if they did it again. So they got all defensive and im like shut up and dont do it again... lol...i loved being mean to them...they were irritating me the other day.

But then, later on, those guys almost got their @sses kicked! There was bout to be a fight! cause ok...in this travel park there's lotsa Canadians and u kno they spean French. Well, the three boys are always getting on the "French kids" cases. Like today they were getting on this one Canadian girls nerves. And she turned to them and was like "shut the f* up." but then, the guys kept messing w/ her and she got real mad and started chasing them. But they ran away and she stopped. But then, they came over and hit her (not hard...but still..). Well, this kid....he's younger than me...probably about 13...but hes as tall or taller than me and big and tough looking. Well, he was like...ggggrrr! and dove at the boys and was about to beat them down! The boys screamed and ran behind this one machine. Everyone in the arcade had stopped and was lookin like...whats goin on?? i was standing there like....ok....hmm...im working...should i say something??? nah....i wont get into this. I was laughing so hard after...stupid kids. i cant stand those boys...

Then, my shift ends at 4pm, but i didnt leave til about 6pm cause one girl working the night shift was late. But it wasn't bad...we were pretty dead. whew! interesting day.

Realizations of the day:
1. Lots of little kids piss me off.
2. Sprite Remix tastes good.
3. Sometimes its fun being mean.
4. Summer vacation is about half way over..
4 1/2. daym...i need to find an RP project.

hey everybody! Its PaYdAy!! yeah buddy! lol.
mayn....yesterday was so funny! ok...first off, it rained a tiny bit in the morning. We went to the pool...the water was freezing!! so we didn't stay very long. Then, me and Steph went to the arcade to play pool. I played her...can't remember who won (no bull..i honestly 4got..) then i met this one guy...i think he said his name was Casey...i dunno...it was loud there so i couldn't hear very well. Hes 18 and from Iowa. i was like..dag...the boonies. lol. haha. but i played him twice and won both of them (they all were real close tho). it was cool. But then i had to leave, change for work then go to work.

Work yesterday was great. I worked w/ Brian (owner/boss) and Ben. Brian's cousin, Derek was there. He's about my age. It was sooo funny. They all are just so slow...haha. Like...Brian had this Adam Sandler cd, so all 3 of them were doing Adam Sandler impressions and copying the cd...it was HiLaRiOuS!! i wish i had a tape recorder...lol. Then Brian kept saying all these retarded lines from old cartoons...he kept shouting "Im COMING to SAVE the DAY!!!" really, really loud. it was so funny. Then they were talking about skateboarding. Brian had taken Derek and his little son Brandon to a skate park earlier. Brian can board good...but he's like 29 or somethin, so he kept complaining that he was stiff and can't do all the tricks he used to do. But he could still do lotsa cool ones. Tho he was like, at the very end, he busted his @ss big time. it was funny. Brian did so many sports. He was actually a pro surfer! i was like...dag. He said he competed in pro competitions and was sponsored by things like Reef (sandal company), etc. Though he said that to get paid the real big bucks u have to be like....in the very very top ranks. He said that at his best point he was ranked about 96th in the world, but he said that w/ 3 kids and a wife, and w/ all the traveling it required, it just didn't pay enough. im like...wow...dats kool. But yeah...work was funny. and we were pretty busy. i got $11.26 in tips...i was happy. not bad...not bad at all.

And that was yesterday. Today...i slept til almost noon. Played Steph twice in pool (won both times...again, it was real close). I went to Walmart...looked at scrap book stuff. See, for awhile Becky had been working on a scrapbook of her life and all. She finished a few days ago..it looks real cool. So now i plan on making a senior year scrapbook...maybe ill throw in a few things about my other high school years too. Ima make it real nice. Once i get my digital camera, ill be straight. lol....im spendin money this year! well, gotta go to work in about 30min.....peace out!
