Genevieve's Place

All along I've been thinking that everyone's being moving west and eventually I might be there too. But who's there (permanently or semi-permanently) now? No one. Guess Winkler's where it's at, just like we all knew! Why can't I wait for summer to be over?

Bad poetry? Oh noetry!

June's over. Well, pretty well as good as anyway. I feel like I'm always looking forward, never looking back, and barely paying attention as it is. When will I stop and be happy? Later, I suppose, is always the answer.

So, I've gone over my classes etc, and determined that there's yet another class that I'll be taking during the summer because I can't find a suitable time slot or professor. Also, I will probably need to get a job, or, alternately, go crazy worrying about money. Going crazy might happen anyway, given the nervousness I'll constantly be around. I keed, I keed. We'll be great. We'll just be living with some awful furniture.

My shoulders have that 'do-this-to-me-again-and-i'll-give-you-cancer-i-swear' look to them. It's not very friendly. So, so much for me talking about never wearing sunscreen ever. That kinda goes out the window. It's really humid outside right now. I'm waiting and waiting and waiting for the first drop of rain to fall, so I can open my window and fall asleep to the sound. I just biked to Videostop with my little sister and guess what? I can still ride a bike. After say, five years of not riding. My bum hurts though.

Toothpaste for Dinner rocks.

Oh, the bunny has it right today. As usual. And, new Teen Girl Squad!!

Holy.crap. was it hot today. I wish I could've been outside. Then maybe there would have been a bit of a breeze. I know the rest of the week will not be much better, but still. It's good to complain about today as if tomorrow won't be worse. It will be. And, on the weekend, I completely got no thunderstorm action whatsoever. It would've been so nice, what with the sunburn, sleeping in the hot room with a tiny window and no breeze going on.

Tomorrow's the longest day of the year! It's all downhill from here, until the sun sets at 4 and rises at 8:30. boo. Let's make stuff happen!!

There was more than one lobstah present at the birth of Jesus? Duh. So, I, am very red. Remember how I never burn? Well, I did. It hurts you know. I was outside washing cars for a couple of hours on Saturday. It was fun at the time.

On Saturday night, I went to a Goldeyes game with Gina. I had never been. The only 'professional' sport events I had been at previously were Bomber's games. Not too entertaining. Not that I find baseball all that appealing either. Oh, and with the added benefit of being second row from the front, the constant, probably unfounded fear of foul balls in the face. Although two people did get hit, on the other side. The game was very very uneventful, with less that 3 hits until about the 6th or 7th inning. It was tied til the bottom of the 9th with two outs and a guy on third, a guy ( sorry I don't know specifics, I don't care either, ha) hit a grounder to right field, and they won the game. Woo. I was so excited to go to church today, and then, there was like, no young adults there. Which isn't totally true either, but, very very few. Anyway, another long long long week of work awaits...I must rest.

Wow. Okay, after working 10 or more hour days, 8 hours just breezes by. Yay for Friday anyway, even if I didn't do anything with it. Sooo, I was going to get baptized this weekend, but I decided against it for now, preferring to do it when I'm actually attending church, so probably this fall. When I'm back into it all. Lame excuse I know.

So, I looked through the new high school yearbook today. Sad, sad excuse. Remember when they used to be award winning? Every picture caption can be summed up like this, "Look!!!! so-and-so flashes their pearly whites for yet another yearbook picture." Sad, so sad. Oh, and reading people's quotes is amusing as usual. My favourite so far being, "See Evan Dowling's quote, beacuse he stole it from me, cause he's a stealer"...and some of the good old making fun of different cars, you know, the Ford jokes. Those and inside jokes, my favourite. Not so good are the quotes that are quoted wrongly and then credited to either the wrong person or 'unknown'. Geez, people, it's called...research! the internet! Google!

I waited so long to post again and that's all I had to say? I don't think so...oh well, maybe.

So, my week's been crazy with the emotions. I'm not sure why. Probably mostly the lack of sleep and very huge job dissatisfaction, which does come and go. Goes a bit faster when it's payday, like it is today. We got our hearing tested this week. I missed an hour of work, and I have perfect hearing. Double score.

Yesterday I got my letter of acceptance to U of M. (surprise!) Well, it's just another cheque I need to write, few more decisions to make. I want to take less classes this year so I can at least try to maintain a high GPA so that I can do an exchange (and get the heck out of here!!)

It was my birthday yesterday. Holly made me an awesome cheesecake. Really it was good. Rae made some of my favourite cookies, and Kendra gave me a balloon. Thanks of the impromptu party guys :) Even if I had to go home and straight to bed. C'est la vie.

Ah, it's wedding season. I got my first invite today. Although it was a girl from work I've known for about a month, it made me feel pretty special. :) So, all I got for my birthday was....some sexual harrasment. Only half kidding, that's not all I got. Go monarch employees. I guess just because it doesn't bother me, doesn't mean I shouldn't make a big deal about it. So far, my birthday has consisted of work, nothing, ficken chingers, and some more nothing, and helping my sister basically rewrite her essay. Anyway, I suppose it's time to be off to spring concerts for fun, and more fun afterwards. woooo, it just keeps getting better.

All I've been feeling lately is exhaustion and've been very numb to the world. I'm not a huge fan of the overtime schaufen. But I guess I will be when it's payday. Oh, by the way, I'm starting understand a fair bit of plautdietsch. Crazy girls. I'll be paying my cheque home and cruising main before you know it. Anyway, I should get some nice sleep one night this week.

So, what was the worst day of my life, turned out to be not so bad, and maybe even good. Okay, well, I might be exaggerating a touch when I say worst, because really it's not all that bad. There were a series of unfortunate events which included me getting hit in the face and getting a nasty cut, but being really happy with the way i dealt with it. Then my coworker, who is two years younger than me, telling me that she has only one friend and doesn't get to see her that often, and that she considers me one of her friends. I could have cried at that. I want to adopt her and send her back to school. But when someone thinks they're stupid, what can you do? I get upset everytime she says that. Anyway, also, my sexy new uniform ;) is not enough to keep the paint from soaking right through, and i had fun scrubbing sessions today. Oh, if only I did not have so much surface area. haha. In addition, I have more bruises than I thought I ever would without fighting for them. It's been a tougher week for some reason. Also, creepy guy at work continues to be creepy. So I told my daddy on him :) it'll be all better soon. At the end of the work day I didn't know what to do. I was so glad I got through, but so dreading dealing with life. Plus she felt so bad for hitting me in the face, and really in the end it's nothing, like it's closed up now, and in a couple of days I'm sure it'll be nothing but a battle scar. Which is actually kind of cool. Ah, life and it's resiliency continues to amaze. (phil, you might have to look that one up)
