If you will, fellow staff and users, imagine I'm not a mean lean reviewing machine. It's not hard, is it? I haven't cranked out nearly as many reviews I'd like to over this past summer. Positively dreadful. So let me give you the run down on how my summer went and how the beginning of my year is going.
I started off the summer with getting fired from work. Apparently getting hit at work (not actually DOING the hitting, being the reciever) and being the bigger person and holding back and not retaliating gets you fired. I know the situation sounds jacked and more detail should be given. Oh well. As of now I have a new job, with salary, better hours, better management, better organization, less Bigfoot-like supervisors. Thankfully I found the job. I was on my last sixty dollars. I need to learn ton contain my currency consumption.
I visited an old friend along with family on the East Coast. My family was great but I missed my own house with my own standard of living. I just don't think I could ever bare with having my life being as routinely bland as my poor grandma's is. She tries to get about but she just isn't as young and full as she used to be. My aunt and uncle were great to see, my uncle having grown a beard. It made him look older. I was taller than him though. It's about time I garnered some height. My friend was annoying...ugh, she was annoying. Someone as insecure as should be on anti-depressants--oh wait, she is. Then up the dose, doctor. She has an eigth grade mentality and she is a senior. A senior. She hadn't changed since I left in my freshmen year. Whatever.
Started school, thankfully. It got me motivated for college. Classes are as entertaining as possible, by far my favorite is my journalism course. I plan on going to school to study journalism so it's a very informative college prep-like course. I've developed a routine of walking from fourth to fifth period class where I see this girl, glance at her, she glances at me, we incline our heads, and then we carry on. It's a very mundane routine but I'm pretty if the other wasn't there, we'd notice. She is a very pretty girl who has the unfortunate syndrome of being a taken entity. Most annoying. The kid she is dating is fat, but she is a sophomore and is highly attractive. She kind of has big eyes, but they are very round and vibrant. Very pretty. And my vegetarian friend informed me she was vegetarian, which is kind of annoying but supposedly she isn't a pushy vegetarian, so what will be, must be. The point is she must break up with that fat kid and I must introduce myself to her. That's all there is to it.
I've been listening to a lot of The Junior Varsity, Bloc Party, Kiss Kiss, Straylight Run. It's been an odd summer for me. My iPod is nearly dead but I can't allow it to die. It has nearly 1000 bsides and rare demos on it. If I must do microwave surgery (insert into microwave, turn microwave on, watch--my friends told me this...), I will. I will not lose my iPod. Charlie will hold on, he must. I've been playing World of Warcraft when I can. Regardless of your opinion, that game is a stress reliever up until the point where you are so close to the next level or when you die. Then you just want to headbutt your monitor.
Alas.
Comments:
Thanks for the heads up with all of your goings on. Shitty about your job but it sounds like it all worked out and hopefully it will allow you enough compensation to get that new iPod it sounds like you need. I'll look forward to seeing some of your new reviews soon.
