Genevieve's Place

Hm, did I over-react? I don't really think so...there's just so much that I take for granted...and we've all been so fortunate...I'm just very unaccustomed to disaster.

I am dreaming right? So can I please just wake up already? FUCK!!! Life isn't supposed to be like this. I'm tired of crying and yet I know this is so not the worst. Young people aren't supposed to have to deal with shit like this. Unfair is hardly the word, but who can decide fairness? Who deserves this EVER? Who decides what who deserves? This is retarded and I hope that...I don't know what I hope for. One second, and your whole frame of mind changes...completely. My mind hasn't quit spinning for 6 hours, and I just hurt. Work is really the last thing on my mind, and even though I love it, I wish I didn't have to this weekend.

I just looked through the quotes and portrait sections of our gr 11 and 12 yearbooks, and there was probably about...oh three quotes in total that I didn't cringe at. Did they all seem so funny back then? Man, everyone thought they were cool. Well, welcome self- and world awareness. *sigh* Why isn't more stuff going on around here lately? Tomorrow, I will be driving around to find things to do. fun huh?

So! After I watched the boys on their little bikes, I came back to my car and promptly locked my keys in my car. Crap. I'm always the super-est cautious about that, I've done it once before and that was crappy. But I had another set of keys in my hand so, it made me think that I had those in my hand and not in my purse. My dad had to come and break into my car for me. With screwdrivers and a hanger. It was pretty cool, I didn't know it worked that way. Good thing I have an immobilizer and a club, I am one ignorant car owner. So then, it was off to slopitch in Altona. Woo! Sat still on the bench for half the game (also woo!), well, maybe not so woo, but still, only had half the game to make an ass of myself, and as batcatcher (what a dumb name) at that. And I had a hit! I eventually got to third, out there, though. And my out (forced) was the last of the game! Way to go!!! Man, if I didn't suck so much at hitting, catching, and throwing, I might be okay at this. I just need a bit more practice I guess. Everyone is very nice though, so that's good. play ball!

So, I haven't written a lot since I started this job, and not for lack of trying either. Every few days I start to type, get distracted, and then pretty much forget about it. I'd like to say that I've been doing a lot of exciting things, but to other people what I've been doing probably isn't that exciting. I just got back from doing a little greenhouse tour, and after a while I have to say that all plants pretty much look the same to me. I like the flowers though, even though I kinda prefer mine nicely cut and in a nice vase and preferably delivered and paid for :) So! May long weekend. Not so much for me...worked Saturday and am working now. It's all good though. Work isn't really work. Honestly I'm loving it. Yesterday we went to see The Da Vinci Code, as Holly explains. It was good. Followed the book, no complaints on that end. Kinda affirmed my urge to go to Europe...eventually. I'm all about the castles and the history mostly. So I'll read a billion books before I go so that I know what I'm seeing. Oh! I get to play slopitch today. Not sure how I feel about that. Kinda hoping I'll be benched if need be. I don't mind making a fool out of myself, just not in front of super competitive people. Especially if they're on my team. Aaaanyway...I'm off to watch boys do dangerous things on little bikes and skateboards...

The question I've been asked most often lately refers to my taste in music. Initially, I said I like anything, which is true, because I'll tolerate pretty much anything, as long as it's not developmentally delayed. And who actually considers the answer to that question? Now that I'm comfortable with more people, I say more of the truth, but I still can't define it for them or myself. I say I like indie stuff, but I can't give them many band names, cuz I don't like that many. I also have begun to display my dislikeness for much of AM country music. Yes, the station I work for. Aaaanyway, I'm finally finding out what it's like to be busy, and I didn't know that it would be so...busy. At least it makes me appreciate the time off that I have. Good times. See you soon.

Ouchy...I gave blood for the second time yesterday. It's been like...a long time, almost 2 years actually. And I have a nice bruised inner arm to show for it. My nurse told me that I look like Angelina Jolie, so that was nice. Now where's my Brad Pitt? Hmmmm?

It's just going to be one insane summer. You'll see.

I.just.don't.know.anymore. It's the beginning of summer, and yet it feels like it'll never end. I've had a couple days of work and it already feels like I've been there a while. Like a noob, but still like it's been a while. I'm tired of this already. Not the work, just this life. Can we just move on please?

Yes so, today was my first day. Not glamorous or anything, not that I expected that. It's just going to be a summer of a lot of learning. And heck, it sure has been so far. Not even work related. And, stuff. Man, Eric should just hurry up and get back here. Now, who's up for a fancy dress party?
