Saturday night block party in Island Park

- Erin not able to call me
- Etienne. Etienne actually GREW. Maybe 5 inches? I think he broke 7 feet a whiiiiiile ago....eep!
- "I've seen Emily more in the last 2 nights than I have in the last 4 years" "6 years, Chris" "Shiiiiiiiiiit"
- "You look really familiar. I know you" - Dan Travers, who I used to live around the corner from. The boy who used to offer me rides - such a nice family. Glad I didn't mess up and call him Sean. I can't believe Sean has been dead for 5 years. I can't believe I didn't go to the memorial while I was so near by. I wish I knew him better; I have never heard a bad word spoken about him.
- Bomb and his cousin, La Bamba.
- Old crushes. For the first time since I was a senior in high school, I was in the same vacinity as Danny K. We took our time to talk to each other (though I talked quite a bit to George, to be shared below), but eventually got there. Joked about how I don't live in WH anymore, had to get to Mass, and how I was turning tricks to get there. I was able to be brave enough that when he said that was a lot of tricks, I told him '2 at the most; I'm just that good'. 5 yaers ago I would NEVER have had the balls to deliver a line like that. Baby steps. He's still really cute, unfortunately. He got heavier (I saw photos) but looked better last night. Couldn't see his eyes in the darkness, but I know they're still gorgeous.
- George: "When we had that class together, we were friends". We were friends? George and I? Hilarious. Also, I called George 'Rob' by accident (actually, I said, 'where IS George' and he said "I AM George". I miss Rob).
- John with the funny shirts (last night's was about squirrels) went to give me a hug and just went and picked me up.
- Getting to put my feet up on George's back.
- Realizing I STILL don't like Mike T., and that it's OKAY that I still think he's a douchebag. I don't have to like everyone, and I really don't like him. He was such a jerk back then, and even though we didn't exchange words, I know he's still the same kid. Hasn't evolved at all. Chestnut's probably the exact same way. I have forgiven everyone else; I mean, I hugged and kissed Yohe, who I know was one of them....but I will never forgive Teich and Chestnut for continuing it. And it feels GOOD to not just forgive them because time has passed.
The circus has come to town and left all its carnies behind.
The last two people I've hung out with have done nothing but talk. Talk all OVER me, talk around me, and generally not ever shutting the fuck up. Or trying to fight people in Tampa. Or going on and on about this person on a bike and that person on a bike, and who hits on you and who won't leave you alone.
Seriously? At 26 this is all I get? What the fuck? Where is the line between normal and fuck up because I totally toe it and can't stand the extreme of either.
Why can't people just be satisfied with themselves to the point where they shut their trap and enjoy their company. God knows I wish I could... but your flapping jaws are kind of halting that.
"Friends", when you hear that word you think of people you are close to. "Best Friends", when you hear that word you think of people that mean a lot to you. "Enemies", when you hear that word you probably think off people who you hate or dislike very much and would like much if they would just disapear. Am i right??? Well i probably am... well to tell you the truth friends could be best friends one day then enemies the next. There is too much drama in the world to just have friends and no best friends or enemies. yea we all would like just to have friends and best friends but life just doesnt work that way. You have to have friends and you have to have enemies! i mean everyone does. When you think you get a best friend think twice about telling them your biggest secrets or something you dont want other people to know bcuz the next day they could be your worst enemy and thats all it takes. if that "secret" was to get out what would happen to you?? all i am saying is be careful in choosing your friends bcuz you dont know for sure that they feel the same as you in wanting to be a "true" friend.
Its hard to find "true" friends its easier to find enemies. But who would rather have enemies than friends??? well i sure wouldnt. but when you do find that great friend hold on to him/her but if the time comes that yall arent really friends anymore, and most of the time it will come, keep looking and never give up!!!!
Its easy to make friends, but easier to lose them..............

Okay folks, the lovely and vocal Goddess I am working with is Brigid! And let's just say I think I perfered Mauve's subtle influences in my life with her preferences then Brigid's..................not that I don't enjoy Brigid's influence *said in a tongue in check voice while grinning*
So how did Brigid get me today? Well as some of you know (the ones that actually read my blog) Randy and I are having some issues. They could be major or the could be minor but either way they have been issues that have been burning for some time now. And one of them is concerning the vechile I drive. Or don't drive in Brigid's case. Right now I am driving a 1992 Astro Van. High in miliage but great on gas. Old looking, dirty on the inside because the last owner never steam cleaned it but other wise cleaned of all trash. We have a 1995 Chevy Lumina sitting in one of our sheds in pretty dayum good condition. The only problems we have with it are the doors. The driver's side doens't open at all and the passenger side door only opens from the inside. Brigid knows that I have been sooooooooooo tired of fighting lately and the past few years I have only really been opening my mouth to Randy on big issues that I have been letting the small ones slide because I just don't have the energy anymore to keep arguing over the same dayum things.
Well she spoke up about 3 weeks ago and told me to get after Randy to get the Luminu up and going before winter hit. I told her that it wasn't a good time right at the moment because I jsut dropped a hundred or so on new brakes on his truck. Well next thing I know Brigid the lovely Goddess made sure the passenger side window of the astro wouldn't go back up. It took me 3 weeks to get Randy to attempt to fix it and what does he do? He shatterst he window in the door! Brigid is laughing the whole time and tells me to start opening my mouth again and to fuck everyone including family memebers who have a problem with me telling it like it is. That is also one of the things she wants me to work on.........I stopped opening my mouth to family memebers because they either ignore me or blame me for issues or say they care about me and then turn around and treat someone who isn't as close to them or not even blood related as queen or king..............she wants me to open my mouth again because so many in the family need to be knocked off their pedestals and I will never get past her to another goddess if I don't start opening my mouth again!
Anyway I have been driving the van as is and driving the truck when it rains (it's got brakes now yaya!) and I had a total unexplainable blonde moment from the neitherworlds! I don't even know how the hell it happened! Until I heard Brigid laughing manicaly in the back ground and Coltin going "MOM! The Truck!"
What did I do? Can someone explain to me how I parked Randy's big ass BLUE truck behind my RED van last night and this moring, I load the kids and myself up into ..........the VAN and promptly back into the TRUCK! I was awake! We weren't running late! Brigid blinded my ass and the kids' asses to the truck sitting behind the van until the back doors of the van went *CRUNCH* and being the Goddess of Metal, she made dayum sure Randy's truck was just fine. A red mark and a few scratches on the chrome grill guard but otherwise just honeky dory! Insurance won't pay for Randy to get a new Grill because it was an add on.......doesn't matter that in the Midwest grill guards are a safety feature! Oh well maybe next year I will buy Randy a new middle peace for his grill guard.
Ya think maybe Brigid wants me to act a lil bit quicker with her influence then Mauve? I think so. It isn't like I don't know how to voice my opinion. TRUST ME! I DO! The last few years I have just stopped voicing it to those who have constantly hurt my feelings, have written me off in various ways, and as Brigid says: "Girl, you have a lot of people you do for both close to you in life and those that live far away and they treat you like crap and think they are the shit! It's time for you to start opening your mouth again and let them see the FIRE in YOUR HEAD and kick them off their pedestals!" And Brigid wants me to start close to home. This should be interesting!
Randy isn't to happy because even though the Astro Van is drivable it looks like a pure rezed out ghetto hoppied ass van now and I refuse to drive it; thus on his three days off for Labor Day.............he is going to get the driver's side door working, he is going to handle the kids, and going to finish his Honey Do List so I can start making the winterizing the house list of things I can't do for him!
There's only so much a person can take before they blow up.
Remember the issues with Charlene? Well, I tried to be nice. I'm even being nice to Kylie N. - not saying anything bad about her, getting along with her, etc. for the sake of the store, but with Charlene - enough is enough.
Close last night consisted of myself and Annette at the front which David as the manager, and Charles at the back with Charlene as the manager. I don't know what happened to Charles. I don't remember him leaving, but he must have because he wasn't there after a while. Charlene was supposed to do back area close. Annette was doing dining close. I was doing café and front counter close. Of course David had to do his manager duties.
The next thing I knew, Charlene was sitting around in the dining room complaining that she was tired. Annette was asking her to wait, because Annette wanted Charlene to give her a lift home. So Charlene was telling her to hurry up while Annette was moping the floor, then pointed out that Annette had yet to change the bins, etc.
Sure, she pointed it out, but she didn't enforce it. She and Annette were gone before I even knew what was happening. Dining was hardly done, and David ended up going half of Charlene's back area close, which isn't right. Then since front counter wasa complete mess, David came and helped me. Together we managed to get it all done, but it shouldn't have been that way. David didn't start his duties until midnight, which is when they should have been done by.
What gets me is that whenever I have close with Annette I usually finish all my jobs first, and then I go and help her out. But last night she did even less than a half-job, and then left! So next time I'm just not going to bother. Next time she's on her own.
We didn't need them, anyway. I had a more civilised conversation with David than with her, and we barely said two words!! Does that tell you something??
