i'm not liking the new blogger thing. but who cares what i like.

if i don't get out of this town soon i'll end up an annoying burnt out townie, i swear.

katey, i have your present and whatnot....since i didn't see you on Thursday like i thought i would, call me or IM me or something and i can get it to you.

i guess i don't have anything else to say. all i've been doing is working and sitting here, because people seem to have forgotten me. thats ok, sooner or later i'll adjust to the inadvertent rejection and get creative, i've been doing some decent doodles on my breaks. drew an awesome punky chick today. go me.

so....yeah. i wish i could hang out with people more than i do, but it feels like i'm always at work. i know i used to work more hours than this when i was at Friendly's, but i enjoyed it there, i got to see people i knew while i was working and joke around with people who i had things in common with. sure, i'm getting to know my coworkers better and they're mostly really nice and totally kickass people to work with, but i'm still the youngest person in the building. and i'm beginning to feel like my life = my work. which is depressing because i hate my work and its definitely not even close to what i would like to do for the rest of my life (i've resorted to drawing on scrap paper when i can catch a break, just because i'd never get a chance to draw otherwise). is it true that we are defined by our jobs? i honestly miss Friendly's, as Katey and Ben both know (i went there with them on Friday night). we were sitting there and Rob Nesbitt was working the take out window, doing the exact same job i used to do, and i just thought "i wish i were still doing that." if i hadn't ended up with a total sleazeball for a boss i probly would still be there, and probly waitressing by now, instead of refilling juice bottles for the elderly. as much as i hate people, human interaction can be a nice thing.

so this past weekend i was supposed to go to Boston with Zack and his family, so i got up real early on Saturday morning and was ready to leave by 8, but i ended up waiting till almost 11 (during which time i took a nap and was thusly fully awake). when they got here i found out that Zack's stepdad didn't want to take the time to go all the way to Boston since he wanted to get back and mess with his lobster traps or boat or something, so we were given the option of staying in Zack's house for the weekend while his parents went to Salem. since i hadn't been able to get my ID anyway and my mom was cool with it, we decided to stay. hooray for weekends off....i'm glad we decided to stay....Boston will still be there when i have an actual ID.

so there's not much else going on, i failed my road test for the third time but the guy was really cool, he told me which things had failed me and which were frowned upon but still ok, and what to remember for next time....PLUS he waited till the end of the test to tell me, which was way better than the guy before him. this guy didn't talk much either, except to tell me when to turn and minimal small talk, which was great for me since i hate it when people talk to me while i'm driving. so yeah.

OMG WTF MAJOR SPOILER TIME!!!
so anyway, in the new Harry Potter book Sirius Black dies. HAHAHAHA. really. i thought Dumbledore would bite it, since they're just gonna have to keep replacing him in the movies as all the old actors die off, but nope. figures. i haven't even read the book, i just read a news article that said Rowling killed off a major character and was all sad and weepy about it. then when my brother got the book i flipped thru till i found it.

hope that didn't ruin anyone's day. and if it did....you should read faster.
