Hillary moved out.
it feels really surreal to be at this stage in life where a sibling moves out. how do those kids do it being aunts and uncles at this age? it feels really weird to be old. or at least to sit and think about my age/pre-adult stage of life. They (you know, those people...) should start saying pre-adult.. like the term "pre-teen" Being an adult is weird. but not like a bad weird, just a surreal, this is really happening weird.
so we have a hang out room now.
Hillary's room has a futon, trunk, and TV in it. I'm sitting in here. there is SO much space. i need to clean my room so i can feel more comfortable; all this space is spoiling me.
i like "Rocket Man" by Elton John

manual labor and yum yums
I'm going to invent a computer that doesn't sound like its going to take off when it's on my lap... cause that's what mine sounds like right now. i don't know where it wants to go.. but i mean. it's on the run way apparently..
Soooooo, today consisted of lots of manual labor, mostly done outside. washed mom's car this morning, then headed to grandma's to do a LIST of things, mostly pulling weeds and sweeping. When i got home i still had to do the finishing touches on mom's car so i ate my 2 yum yums hot dogs and got back to work. i won't lie. i'm a little sore and tired, but i had a good time. i feel pretty accomplished from today. i think i should look into some line of work where i have to do manual labor... or something that has a check list where i can do the things i'm asked to do then clock out? that makes me feel like i helped others more tangibly than in an office. paperwork flavored jobs, i don't know that i could do them everyday with a smile... just thinking out loud.
the words "loud" and "load" always make me stop to make sure i used the right one.
Yum yums only takes cash. today i walked in there with $11 to get 8 hot dogs at $1.60 each. math problem. GO! ...doesn't add up. so i said "i got pennies!" and ran to my car praying that i had enough pennies to cover the $13.40 total. i had $0.91 in pennies. the kid at the register knew that i was a regular so he slipped me $0.50 to help me out. still a dollar short. i said, "shoot, i'm sorry! maybe you should just take one back?" he said, "just bring an extra dollar next time." haha, i love yum yums...they take care of me.

i'm blogging more
and don't let me not, ok?
i think the reason i don't blog as much is cause i don't feel like i have something to say... but if i just start talking something of meaning comes out... or at least a % of the something that comes out could have a little meaning.
so.
conclusion.
just start blogging more and then the meaning stuff will come...(i mean, it won't be everyday... but it'll be more)we'll see.
i just watched a Will Smith movie, Enemy of the state. it was intense. Mom had seen it a few times and kept wanting me to watch it but i wanted to see it from the beginning. so i got the chance today. there were a few interesting things...maybe they weren't significant. i don't know. but. it was made in 1998 and the birthday of one of the main congressman who caused all the trouble was 9/11. interesting....that's really my only interesting thing. and it was about national security. anyhow.
dad was here the past 5 days and left today. sad.
BUT Bobert comes Thursday. happy!
i got sideswiped yesterday on the way to Ed McKay's. IF THERE IS EVER DAMAGE TO A VEHICLE CALL THE POLICE. that's the lesson i learned. the lady(the one who hit me) and i decided all we needed to do was exchange numbers. wrong! i had a tension headache for the majority of the day because i had to "make a statement" with insurance. overwhelming. i think mom thought i was depressed. we were walking in WalMart and she kept saying "have you taken anything yet?" and i said "i'll be fine. i just need to not talk for awhile." so she stopped talking to me so much. when she thinks i'm sad she tries to talk more and perk me up(i figured this out today... she's just trying to help) but my sad look is really just my introvert look and i don't think she knows the difference. but sometimes i dont' know the difference so how can i expect her to?
that's all i got.
i have to wash cars tomorrow.
