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.
