Very tired. I had to be up this morning by 6 and be at work by 7 to do inventory, since I decided to fill in for Crystal.

The computer is screwing up again. Couldn't log into Yahoo to check my email. Couldn't log into LJ to snoop around.

Yep, it's gonna be one of those days.

Update from the last couple of days. I got word that a friend of mine that I went to high school with (Jon Bright) is getting deployed out to Iraq within the next month. I am so scared for him right now, but I'm also very proud of him. You don't know that many people who are willing and brave enough to go defend our country, and I sincerely hope he comes back in one piece or just comes back.

Woke up this morning with major stomach pain. I don't know what the problem was, but I was on the toilet trying to take a shit so I'd feel better. I'm feeling better now.

Jonny stood me up last night. But only because he says he forgot his cellphone and directions to get to Showplace at work. So I watched Garden State by myself. Weird, but amusing. Kind of reminded me of Lost In Translation.

Got my paycheck today, and went to WalMart for a little bit. Got myself a new (cheap) t-shirt and some powder.

Also got word today that a friend of mine from high school is getting deployed out to Iraq in the next month. I am so scared for him right now, and I'll be thinking of him and hoping he comes back all in one piece.

That's pretty much it for me today.

I got a call from Tina today. I don't even really want to get into details, even though I know nobody from cast really reads my Blogger account, but I guess Tina kinda cheated on Jacob with Chester. The good thing is at least Tina told Jacob about it instead of keeping it from him and being more of a liar. I can't think of a way she hurt him more, but I'm not one to be put in a position of judgment, even though we all more or less do to an extent. (I leave that to God.) I don't think of her as a terrible slut, because I know she's not like that. I think it's in human nature to cheat, or be compelled to anyway.

In news...Hurricane Ivan has hit the Florida panhandle and southern Alabama. Luckily it missed Grandma Cozie, but it did hit Pensacola Beach, where Sue lives. We tried calling information for her phone number, but she's unlisted, and we're not sure how she's doing down there.

Talkin' to Ami right now. Matt got a job as an assistant manager at the GameStop down in Lafayette, which is good. It doesn't seem like they've been married for a whole year. Time flies fast!

I just love it when so-called friends decide to be completely selfish and ignore me.

Zero used to like talking to me online. Now he just fucking ignores me.

Probably either bickering or trying to smooth things over with that damn old flame of his.

Yeah, I know. I should just get over it. But you know...I wouldn't be so much pissed if he at least made an effort to try to stay friends. So I'm going to bad-mouth him as much as I want to.

Fuck him. Fuck him up the butt.

Well, looks like I'm abandoning my LiveJournal for a bit, since it obviously looks like no one is reading it or paying attention. Besides, I've been on the computer too much for my own good anyway. Then again, I don't really have all that much for a social life. That'll all change. I plan on being back and active at Rocky Horror starting September 25th, despite what Mom wants or thinks. Maybe if I'm away from my LiveJournal, people will appreciate me. And besides, regarding certain individuals...out of sight, out of mind, right? At least I know that barely anybody knows about my Blogger account, so I can rant to my heart's content.

Work has been okay. I've been promoted, but I've been a little slow at picking up on things. I figure if I work a few closings in a row, I'll grow more accustomed to it and get into a routine. I think my pay increase takes effect starting this paycheck I get this week. *Crosses fingers and hopes*

As you can see, the Blogger look has been updated. It's not the purple coolness anymore. I wanted something that would look a little more readable for me.

I guess Dan proposed to Becky. Good for him. Actually, Mom and I have figured it out. Since the Prendergasts are going to be moving back to Joliet and Dan doesn't really want to go back and live with Mommy and Daddy anymore but he still can't really take care of himself the way his Mommy does (and this is really nothing against Dan's mom, because she's a sweetheart; it's more about Dan letting his mom have so much control over his life to the point where he's been coddled), we figure that he's proposed to her so he still has some female "mother-figure" type in his life to help pick up after him and keep his life in order and that sort of thing. So heh...good for him. But it's funny...he and I still talk online every once in a while, and the conversations will start out all right, but then he'll ask how "things" are with me, and it gets very awkward...kind of like he knows he's not all that involved in my life anymore and he's still concerned, but I really don't like talking to him all that much about personal stuff anymore. We've lost that sort of closeness, as far as I'm concerned.

I got a call from the WalMart in Merrillville today. Kevin put in an application there, and he put me down as a reference.

Ooh, here's some interesting news. I might have to serve jury duty in Hammond in October. I had to send my notice back to the courthouse of course or else I'll get in trouble with the government, so I should be getting a definite notice sometime soon. Yeah, you'd think I'd be groaning about it, but actually I'm not because there are perks. I get $20 if I'm selected, I get paid $40 per day served, I get paid 34 cents for every mile I have to travel to and from home to the courthouse, and they supply us with meals. Not too shabby.

I think that's all I care to update for now. More later.
