Two Funerals and a Wedding

While I was work­ing at Rocky over the sum­mer, Nina was asked to take Gel­don (a stu­dent we had dur­ing the sum­mer) for the day on Sat­ur­day, July 28. His mom was get­ting re-married and she wanted to keep him occu­pied for the day. Nina asked me if I wanted to help her and I said, "ok."

So I went to pick Nina up this morn­ing at her boyfriend Ryan's house (she is cur­rently between homes because her par­ents just sold their house). Then we went to pick up Geldon.

We had him from 9am to 6pm … we needed to fill time.

So we took him to Perkins … and City Park … and the wed­ding … and EPIC … and Ryan's house … and my house … wow.

Like I said, we were fill­ing time. We even man­aged to be late for the wed­ding because we had to go back to my house to get some dress clothes and to change Geldon.

By the time we took Gel­don home at 6pm, Nina and I were fried. I took her back home, met Ryan, and went home.

Okay, I'm tired. Time to stop now …

A Lifetime Pass to Hell

Some things are start­ing to clear them­selves out. It's so con­fus­ing, though …

I wasn't fired. I had a meet­ing with Dr. Rad­cliff today about my job and the whole sit­u­a­tion. When I told him that I might still resign, he was vis­i­bly not happy. He told me that he didn't think that I wanted to do that because I love doing it so much. He was right. As I told both him and Mrs. Parker, I'm just try­ing to get as far away from a bad sit­u­a­tion as I can, and this may be one of the ways to do that. Both of them told me to give it at least the week­end to think about it. I said I would …

As far as the play is con­cerned, that basi­cally rests with her. And even if I'm allowed to stay, I still may not. I hon­estly don't think that I would be any good to any­body there if I did …

How could I have been so cold and heart­less? Espe­cially to some­one I care about? I don't under­stand it. And it makes me really sad every time I think about it. I can't even fathom how I could've be so hor­ri­ble. But I was. That's gonna plague me for quite some time, I think. I just can't believe it …

Chang­ing lanes, I think Sharon has all but lost inter­est in me. We didn't really talk today with the excep­tion of after jazz. I told her that I was really sorry for freak­ing out and being an a**hole yes­ter­day. She said it was okay, but she didn't really seem to care. She seemed more upset than any­thing else. I know that she likes a cou­ple other guys (I won't men­tion their names now) but I think that as if that weren't enough, she's prob­a­bly heard of what's going on and if she weren't already bored with me, then she's scared of me. Oh well. Peo­ple will think what they want. They hear what they want to hear and believe what they want to believe. That's the way it's always been and there's no doubt in my mind that it will stay that way. Just a crush.…

It's incred­i­bly strange how you can be so "up" one week and so "down" the next (sim­ply put). How your life can change in the blink of an eye (or the stroke of a pen). I wish I didn't take so many things for granted …

Where to start, where to start…

I haven't writ­ten in a while. Why? Many rea­sons. The mon­i­tor went out, and so I couldn't write until I got a new one (in color). I have also been incred­i­bly busy in recent weeks. So I'll try to recap what I can remember…

The thing with Jen­nifer was short-lived. It was just kind of tread­ing water, going nowhere. She ended it. I had no prob­lem with that.

Um, I was fired from Tar­get … They found that my per­for­mance after 90 days was unsat­is­fac­tory. But it's no big deal.

Per­haps I'm being a bit nonchalant?

My Fair Lady, our fall musi­cal, was extremely suc­cess­ful. All those nights of stay­ing at Rocky until 11:30 at night were well worth it. I ran sound for the show, by myself, which I am very proud of. We just about sold out all three nights, which was great.

Now for the kicker … On the Fri­day of MFL, I met and became some­what acquainted with a sopho­more named Lin­sey Power. Being the trooper that I am, I stayed at RMHS with­out a break until after the show. Lin­sey and her friend Tara came and hung out with me after school. Lin­sey struck me that day. Start­ing that morn­ing, she came on very strong, and would not stop flirt­ing with me. This would not have been a prob­lem with me had not a friend of Linsey's, Shauna, wanted to go out with me. I had asked Shauna out a few days ear­lier, and she had said that it should be later, because she had issues to sort out, which appar­ently, only took her a few days.

But any­way, Fri­day after­noon, it was just Tara, Lin­sey, and I, alone in the audi­to­rium. Lin­sey started hit­ting on me hard. By the end of the after­noon, we had kissed, felt, and talked about hav­ing sex with each other.

Should I even have to men­tion that I was hap­pily surprised?

It's now about a week and a half later, and I'm going out with Lin­sey. God, shes awe­some. I thought I was sex­u­ally pre-occupied, but I'm noth­ing com­pared to her. Just this last Fri­day, I ditched 4th period and went with her to her house. She explained to me just how she could fist her­self and so on I was sup­posed to go over to her house tonight. But her mom decided that it was fam­ily day. But I have no wor­ries. (Her mom is cool, too. Much like Michelle's.)

It might be a lit­tle bit early for me to be falling for her, but she is a great girl. I hope this works out. I hope I get some too. But that's nei­ther here nor there.

Per­haps this isnt a lot for some to be happy about, but I am on top of the World, and I have no inten­tion of leav­ing any time soon.

Sun­day night. Just got home from work. Where to begin… The first week of school was great. All of my classes will be very fun, and I'm sure I'll have a great time. Cisco will be inter­est­ing. One thing is that the more I learn about com­put­ers, the more I'm think­ing that this is some­thing that I dont want to do with my life. But it's early, and I'm keep­ing my options open.

I talked to Cali at school. I asked her to call Jill this past week­end and ask her out for me. But because I was so busy, I never did call Cali. My guess is that she did not get a hold of Jill, because Jill did not call me with an answer, which was the plan. But there are no worries.

Which brings me to Jen­nifer. Jen­nifer is a girl I met at work, although she is a junior at RMHS as well. She is very nice, and I'm really start­ing to like her. A cou­ple of nights ago, I worked late. She must have fol­lowed me around for a half-hour, until I asked her out on a date. On Fri­day after­noon, I went home with her. This might sound odd. But I must say that I found the whole expe­ri­ence quite intrigu­ing, odd as it may have been. I met her entire fam­ily. And I admit that I was a bit scared, con­sid­er­ing that I haven't even gone out with her per se. But it was enlight­en­ing. I'm think­ing about ask­ing her out. Wish me luck.

Since I have a class in about nine hours, I shall close for tonight.

Well, the sum­mer is almost over. As I sit here this Fri­day night, I pon­der what my junior year of high school will be like. I went to reg­is­tra­tion yes­ter­day, and I got to see some of my friends. That was nice. My birth­day was very pleas­ant. My mom bought me a DVD player. I was ecstatic.

Last night, I called my friend Cali to see if she could set Jill and I up together, but she did not call me back. I tried again today, but she was not home. I will try again tomorrow.

Back to school … this will be inter­est­ing. Well, it always is. Lis­ten­ing to everyone's excit­ing sum­mer sto­ries. What did I do? Sat around and worked. Wow. But I remain opti­mistic about my junior year, nonethe­less. I'm very excited about all of my classes, and I plan to make this my best year ever. That prob­a­bly wouldn't be very hard. Jok­ing. With only two years of high school left, I am increas­ingly think­ing about the future. What do I really want to do with my life? I'm unde­cided at this point. But Im thinking

My friend Alyssa is sell­ing her car. Im going to try very hard to see if I can buy it from her. I need a car. And this would be the per­fect solu­tion. I'm keep­ing my fin­gers crossed…

My TromaMovies.Com project is com­ing very slowly. I had planned to have the web site fin­ished by this time. Because of work and var­i­ous other obsta­cles, this is not so. Regard­less of this set­back, I will start to mar­ket it when I go back to school. I have to work in the morn­ing. So I guess this is my cue to stop for tonight.
