Random Ramblings


I just realized I haven't posted anything here in a really long time. Time to ammend that.

I was suppossed to have a swim meet tonight... but it pretty much hardcore stormed, so it didn't happen. Perfectly fine with me. Actually, my friend, my sister and I were sitting outisde in the rain pretending we heard thunder, hoping it would actually come true so we wouldn't have to swim. Apparently it worked. Or something did, because the meet did get cancelled. But for some reason they're trying to reschedule it now... it's summer swim team, we never reschedule meets when we get stormed out. We just don't. Last year, I don't think we ever actually had a meet at home. Every single time, it stormed. If we'd rescheduled all of those, we'd still be trying to get them in. Yet for some reason, the rescheduling thing actually worked, and I have to be at the stupid meet at nine o'clock on Saturday morning. Yuck.

I still don't feel like it's summer. I have no idea why, either. I'm not in school, I'm doing summer swim team, my sister and I went swimming at my neighbor's house yesterday... I even watched Gilmore Girls while I was eating lunch today. All summer things. I don't know about this summer though, I think it's going to be weird. Right now, my best friend's on vacation, and I haven't even heard from her since the last day of school... which is really weird. Usually I talk to her almost every day, even in the summer. But I mean, even once she gets back she's working semi-constantly, so it's not like I'm really going to be able to see her that much. And now I have all kinds of people trying to rope me into working at this pool that's ridiculously close to my house, but I already have a job, and it's quite a bit further away, but the pool's small and the apartment complex is just a bunch of senior citizens that for the most part don't swim, so it's the easiest and best job I could really hope for, plus I like the manager. The pool that's trying to recruit me is huge, and I might actually have to yell at people if I work there, which I don't want to do. I probably shouldn't have been a lifeguard. And it's managed by a bunch of airheads, and I'm fairly sure they're going to try to get me to work practically every day because they're understaffed, which I really don't want to do. I already have a job. Granted, I'm only working a couple of days there, but that was fine with me. The part that's really annoying me is that realistically I should just turn it down, but my parents are pretty much forcing me into taking it. Um, okay. My life, not yours? And now they're yelling at me for not having called back the psycho people that keep calling me about it, saying that I'm making a bad impression or something. Excuse me for making a bad impression on people that I have no reason to impress, lest they not hire me for a job that I don't want.

And then in addition to that, my sister's a majorette now, which means that she has to go to band camp in August. First off, that's an entire week that I'm not gonig to see her at all. Normally that doesn't bother me, but normally it's me that has to go somewhere, and it's never for as much as a week at a time. In addition to that, our marching band is creepy. Some of the stories that come out of band camp... ugh. I've never known anyone that's gone to band camp and not come back considerably different... and not in a good way. All they can talk about is band camp... it's appauling. In one light I can't see my sister doing that, but in another I can. I don't know. The whole thing is excessively cult-y and weird, and I can't figure out why I'm freaking out over it. Part of it's the protective older sister part of me taking over, and part of it's the fact that I don't even know if I'm going to be able to talk to her much the whole time she's there. And then with my sister gone and my best friend working constantly, I really don't talk to my other friends much during the summer, and I'm not currently getting along with my parents very well... I don't know. I guess I'll just live on OLC.

So that was just me complaining for paragaphs on end. Let's move on. What's something I can lighten this with? OLC is creepishly quiet right now, and I'm bored. I want to ramble about something happy. What's happy that I can ramble about? "Hey There Delilah" is playing in the background now... that's a happy song. I like that song. It's such a sweet idea, and the song itself is pretty... it just makes me smile when I hear it. I should actually download that rather than just playing it over and over off of some website that I'm fairly certain isn't legal... but is very convenient because it has about a billion songs on it that you can just search for and play. It's suppossed to be so that you can make a playlist and use it on myspace, but I don't really like myspace, so I never bothered with that part. My sister did. That's how I found it in the first place. I need to find a new song. I don't know what, though. Maybe I'll just play with my iPod. Ugh, forget it. Nothing sounds good. How about Hootie and the Blowfish? Such a bizarre name, fairly okay music. "Hold My Hand." Ehh... I wanted "One Love," but it doesn't seem to be there. Oh well, I can deal with this song.

Now that I'm rambling about music, I'd say it's time for me to bail on this particular post. I'll go read some fanfiction or something. I don't know. Maybe someone's decided to join me on OLC... nope. Still empty. Oh well. I'm done now. I don't think this was a particularly eventful post. Whatever.

Well, that's depressing.

Well, that's depressing. Sorry I wasn't around to cheer you up. Something about supper and playing badminton and watching Little Mosque on the Prairie - which are all admittedly NOT good excuses.

If you need help in destroying the airheads who want you to work at the pool, you know where the ninjas are. They'll be waiting.

Yeah, I hate when it's quiet

D List: 492 Points DiehardJavaJunkie14 on Wed, 2007-06-20 14:34

Yeah, I hate when it's quiet at OLC. And living there this summer wouldn't be half bad... we're never on simultaneously anymore... and watching Gilmore Girls during lunch is always fun.

Sorry about the job people. I get yelled at when I don't call people back right away... I just get nervous talking to people I don't know on the phone, god forbid I stutter or mess up. Yeah, Lola knows where the ninjas are, and she has the badge of honor to release at will...

It's lonely and sad. School

It's lonely and sad. School is a necessary evil, but at least we had a time frame.

Although, we have our new time frame: whenever.

I get nrevous talking to people I don't know. I get nervous raising my hand in class, so I'm right there with you, Lorelai90!

Well, I'm so glad Lola's at OLC now. I'd cry otherwise. And that would make my makeup (! I'm wearing makeup to go with my new hair!) run...

I love you both. I know, we're never all on at the same time anymore. We just were for about five minutes, but it's not quite the same. Oh well. I wasn't home today, but I wrote a really long note, which I'll type up soon.

NOTE!

I loved the note, Lorelai90. It was really awesome, especially how you put your sister's part in orange (successfully!)...

Gah, I'm glad you're here

Gah, I'm glad you're here Lorelai, I also hate it when OLC is pretty much empty, or it's just one person. But wow, I agree that you should just turn the job down completely no matter what your parents are saying. It is your life.

As sad as it seems, your parents may be able to make you sad or happy, but they won't be around forever.
