| Lindsay Haupt was Prom Queen. I'm sitting by her in Sociology and she wants you all to know that. | | |
| Hello! I'm home for the first time of more than one hour in three nights. Fun times. Friday I went to school then came home and went to work right away, then went to Joe's house. We played TIger Woods 2K5 and Fable... good games. Then Saturday morning I came home and went to work right away again. I came home from work and went to Shantytown in Valders right away. I woke up at 6:30 this morning, came home from Valders, took a shower, went to church. Went to the other church. Went to the beach to play volleyball. Went to my dad's house to watch the Packers lose. Went to the Bennett's house to eat lasagna (delicious) and watch Kung Pow (which I fell asleep during cause I was tired). Good times!
Shanty Town was cool last night. For those of you who don't know (out of the 3 people who will ever read this) it's where you sleep in a cardboard box outside and raise money for Habitat for Humanity. My shanty of cardboard was just a really long thing with no room to move that I had to wormslide in and out of, it was awesome! Haha yeah it was great.
Gotta love well-intentioned people who try to be nice and make funny jokes and stuff, but they're soooooooo not funny. It's cute how hard they try though.
I love how during the worship service at the church last night, the kids who were having a good time and were into and stuff, never seem to care outside of church, but are very churchy inside of church. Like... to them, it seems church and God is a part of life completely severred from everything else in life, and they draw a line to keep life and church from contact from each other.
Also of interest to me is the overall basis of the faith of the others there. As if they hadn't stopped to consider if the Bible is actually true or not, they just assume it is, but they just try to figure out how important that is to them. Like "Well God is good and the Bible is quite the good book for Sunday mornings, and of course it's holy... but that's not for me 7 days a week." where the more important decision is not whether or not they believe (they do without really thinking one way or the other) but what they do with it (which doesn't seem to be much). I'm probably not communicating well, but my point is... it's interesting how they just all kind of assume the Bible is true, with or without having read it.
In Sociology we watched this video on the "Wild Child"... well 2 of them. There was this girl 40 years ago who was locked up in a room with just a chair by her parents for like 10 years, where they did nothing but give her food and not let her out, and she never came into touch with any other human beings or society at all. She was found one day and yadda yadda yadda. The other was this boy found in France over 150 years ago, about 12 years old, who came naked out of a forest into a town. He had never had contact with humans before, even though he was one... and he had fit in with the animals quite uniquely.... I highly reccomend looking into "Victor of Aveyron" and "Wild Child Genie". Interesting stuff.
Regardless of how generic youthgroup-ish all the service was and everything, I think Shantytown is a sweet event. Lotsa fun and raises money for Habitat for Humanity... always good yo!
Well I'm gonna watch this video now. Cya later friends! | | |
| I'm in psychology class right now, how fun! Taking a test on my Emotional IQ. Yipeeee. Work has been going well, that's good.
I'm pretty upset right now. I think I may stop trying so hard to be friends with someone. This person, we'll call him Kip, never seems to do anything to pursue friendship with me. He never says hi when he sees me, he never talks to me when I'm around with all of our friends, but yet he complains when I don't talk to him. I don't know, it's nuts. I should stop trying to be his good friend... he claims that he wants me to but he acts like he doesn't. Ahh whatever. It sure is fun to be the one to bring groups of friends into one big friend group, and then be the odd man out. 
I get to work 6-11:30 tonight. I don't feel like doing anything, but I'll do my best.
Does anybody see him?
Another setup for the fall
Can anybody hear him?
Screaming at the same blank wall
I know you must have seen him
I'm sure you must have heard it all
I know you used to be him
Did anybody care at all? | | |
| Wowww McDonalds has improved... I've been doing really well now. I thought I was gonna be awful forever, but apparently not. I feel comfortable there now. Got my first paycheck tonight. $5.54 booo yeah!
Bought some new CDs the other day. Blueprint Car Crash- Rhetoric of a Marionette I got for 4 bucks and I highly reccomend it. Very good post hardcore/emo/chaotic whatnot or whatever... closest thing I could compare them to would be the Mars Volta... I really enjoy this CD. I also bought Murder City Devils's RIP Live Show for 7 bucks, but I haven't listened to that yet. I'm sure it will be swell.
I need to get American Idiot from Green Day... I expect this CD to be fantastic, but I don't want to get the regular version, so as thus to fill up my CD binder with parental advisories... so I gotta wait for the edited version at wal-mart yipee! Welll mmmmmmmkay then!
Valders girls volleyball won tonight. I can't believe it.
Had soccer practice after day, that's fun. Cool with people like Katie Lindemann, Lindsay Haupt, Heather Dvorak, etc. And usually Brittney and Callan will be there but not tonight.
Important upcoming shows:
Spoken- October 9th (Green Bay)
Story of the Year/My Chemical Romance/Lost Prophets/Anberlin- October 15th (Milwaukee)
Hot Cross/Coliseum- October 20th
Gwar- November 15th
Ronnie James Dio- Not sure when
And ummmmm I don't know. MORE NEWS LATER! | | |
| Wowwwwwwwwwwww what was McDonalds thinking? I was perhaps one of the worst people they could have hired. A slow-learning perfectionist who has never done anything the job requires, working at a fast-food restaurant... and I'm horrible at cleaning. Tonight was a disaster at work.
Right when I got there I screwed up an order, then I went to fries and was going way too slow on fries, and I was trying my hardest! Then I got put out in lobby, where I had to mop, which I didn't know how to do so that wasn't cool... filling up catchup was hard, messes were all over the place. I went back to fill up the ice cream machine and spilt everywhere, and then spilt the plastic cap in the machine! I made 3 ladies leave because their order was taking too long, when I should have gotten it right away since it was ice cream... but of course I forget things like this. Jamie and Caitlyn stopped by so that made my night better.
I screwed up so much tonight I couldn't believe it. I don't know if I could have done worse... I was holding back tears so much that my throat was killing me... it was awful. Let's leave it there.
I wish I would have gotten that job at the beginning of the summer. Working on computers at Americollect... that would have been perfect. Entering data into computers is somethign I can actually do. Preparing a meal in less than 120 seconds? That I can't do.
Plus I don't know how they expect me to remember everything. I guess I'm really bad at learning "to do" things... it's always been like that in science class for instance, when he goes over a lab with us, I pay complete attention the whole way through, and then once he asks us to do it, I have no idea what's going on... I have to read the procedure several times. My mind just doesn't pick up on how to do things quickly... I remember less than half of what I was taught in training... I don't know they expect me to remember it so easily... it doesn't stay in my head!
Plus it was soooo busy tonight, and I don't make good decisions on things I don't know about, especially under pressure.
Now I get to work 11-6 on Saturday and Sunday. Hurray!
Not to mention I was already upset from school. Why? Because I'm stupid. It's not like there was anything for me to be even the SLIGHTEST bit upset about, but of course since we're talking about Brian here, I get upset when one friend gets a ride home with another friend just because I wish that person would have asked me. That's pretty dumb on my part, admitted. But it drives me nuts. I'm a tool. | | |
