I'm really lonely. Usually I get over it faster than this. . . . I've been lonely for like a week. . . or has it been two now? Hmmm. Time kinda meshes all together lately. Well, work days mesh together. The rest of the week is it's own thing.
So I was supposed to be at work at 7am this morning and I woke up at 6:20, rather than the normal ten to six. . . . Yeah. With a 25 minute drive ahead of me. Don't worry, I made it early. 'Tis only the grace of God that I woke up at all. I love those little reminders He gives us that He loves us. =D
I like Garfield. =D It's a good comic. Teehee! So is Dilbert. FoxTrot used to be the best, but it's only a Sunday comic now, so Bleh.
My friend at work quit. :/ My boards have lost almost all their appeal. *sigh* Oh, well. Funny. . . I knew this was going to happen. . . I even wrote out a long post about it like a year ago. . . Kinda weird how it's happening just like I thought it would. . . . Bleh.
I should go play the piano. . . And then my violin. *sigh* Sometimes, I just want to not do anything. I know I have plenty of time, but sometimes I feel really rushed. Like there's not enough time for practice and play anymore. I'm thinking I need to bring my violin downstairs and practice when the baby's asleep. . . Hmmmmmm. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
I'm also thinking about getting one of those things that you plug into your car's tape player and hook it up to your CD player and then you can play your CDs through your car's speakers. Neat, no? Aye. Nifty. I'm thinking. Then again, I have bills coming up. . . Insurance. Although Dad said I don't need new tires yet, so that's cool. Hmmm. And I did just get a raise. . . . Ah, well. I'll figure it out.
I have a sore throat. It's annoying. And I was in back DT this morning. . . Not good. I thought I was going to lose my voice. Eheh.
Wednesday, I was going to get gas after church, but I really didn't want to go back out, so I procrastinated and decided to do it after work on Thursday. I got out of work and gas prices had jumped up about fifteen cents. I started praying, and I prayed all the way home and there was one, ONE! gas station that hadn't hiked the prices that high yet. God is so good to me. =D Even when I do something foolish.

Home again, home again
As you all know (or SHOULD all know), I went to Watertown, WI (Maranatha Baptist Bible College) to see my cousin in the play, The HMS Pinafore. And WOW!!! :D It was awesome! So! I'm thinking that I definitely need to get my application sent and paid for and all that jazz, and then I need to start taking classes for "personal enrichment" (so I don't have to major in anything :D :D). Yeah. And then I have to figure out the best way to balance my time between learning to sing, practicing violin and piano, compose, and socializing. I may have to teach my brother by example just how one is friendly. lol ;) Oh, oh! Also! I have GOT to take at least one class for drama. The problem is. . . acting doesn't sound that appealing. Musicals, now those sound like fun.
The play:
I loved it from the very beginning. The overture was cool and the opening song (a bunch of guys singing in perfect harmony) was incredible! The main girl had an astounding voice and the first mate was my favorite character of the whole bunch. He reminded me of Christian Bale. . . . Wasn't that good-looking, just had . . . I don't know, something. My cousin was really good and in the play, she was quite the man-chaser. lol It was cute. :) Last, but not least, I started giggling pretty hard when they started singing, "He's an Englishman". :D I thought of you, dear brudder, I thought of you.
The College:
The buildings were cool, not too hard to figure out and navigate around, so that's nice. The music section was incredible. Granted, I really don't want to "live" in those little practice rooms like my cousin was talking about, but those pianos were soooooooooo nice. Wow. And there's that one room with the electronic gadgets for composing! OooooO!!! :D I'm so excited. And all the people were like my height! Seriously! And I don't just mean the girls! It's a college of midgets! It was really weird. . . There was this guy in choir class who was next to my cousin and wow. . . . His voice was sooooooooooo . . . *swoon*! lol ;) No, but really, those people can sing.
I'm thinking that I'm not going to like dorm life, but . . . . *shrug* Oh, well. I'll adapt. :)
That's it for now. Gotta go practice, practice, practice. ;)

Birthyday
So. I'm going to be eighteen. Wow. . . . I'm growing up so fast! It seems like just yesterday that I was only a little tike speed-talking and annoying my brothers to death. (Wait a second! That was yesterday. . . ;)) Anywho. I liked being seventeen, but I'm thinking it's time to move on. Time to progress. Time to . . . . shut. . . up.
I made an unintended pun yesterday. :) . . . *shrug*
It's so cold in my room. . . . Seriously, it's like. . . fifty-two degrees in here. Brrrrr! I'm thinking about getting a little space heater. . . I mean, I have an air conditioner. Space-heater is a lot cheaper and I'd probably use it just as much. Though with the going away to college thing, maybe not. . . Hmm.
One of the managers is thinking about quitting and I really don't want her to. She's so . . . good at it! I love working when she's there. She always knows what's going on, always has everyone where they're supposed to be and she helps out where the crew is weakest. Honestly, she's probably the best manager I've worked with and I've worked with almost all of them. So I asked her to stay till the fall. Heh. I don't think she's going to. . . which means that I have a better chance of getting promoted. And I'd take the promotion if it were offered. Indeed. I'd have to learn a lot, but I learn well. I was practicing wrapping sandwiches with my empty wrapper on my break today. Hehe.
Yesterday, I was stressed out about what was going to happen today. I was really nervous about it and praying a lot about it. Funny thing happened. Last night, my brother was stressed out about having to preach and then he didn't have to because we cancelled. Yesterday, I was stressed about being in back DT, and then today I didn't even have to be in back DT. . . . I think God's teaching me something (like not to stress out about uncertain circumstances). Hopefully, I won't forget it next time something stressful comes along.

Oy vey
Someone told me something emotionally disturbing late last week. . . . I haven't gotten over it yet and it's kinda killing the good mood I should have. I'm thinkng I should get over it, but it's proving difficult.
Work stinks when things break. There would be very little stress at my job if people quit telling me to go stand in DT and if things quit breaking. The managers don't seem to understand that when people are waiting for their food, the person in DT had better have it, or better be getting it. Otherwise, the customers see somebody just standing there and wow, does that make them upset. And then I have to be the one to deal with it.
Two of my cousin's friends came to church last night and then they came to our house. First thing my mom asks when they're gone is, "So which one did you like?" Mothers. They're so cute. :)
What's the point of not having to be to work nearly as early as usual, but still having to get up at the same time? The point is annoying. But such is life and murmerers used to get killed by having large rocks thrown at them, so. . .
I like Troy. The sad thing is, I feel worse when Achilles dies than when Hector dies. . . . Why can't I like the good guy as much as the bad guy? I mean, Hector's so awesome. He's so good. Achilles is ruled by desire, by want. Hector is ruled by what's right, by his code. I think I know why. For good guys, the right will always be more important than a girl, while the rogue will hang the rules to sweep the girl off her feet.
The new Rocky was funny. Stallone looked so old. I guess he kinda is though. lol
Five days till my birthday. I get a raise! Woot! :)
I asked my friend what I should read 'cause I'm bored sometimes, lol, and he gave me a list long enough to last like five years. Seriously. He just kept going and going and going and go- Okay, I'll stop. You get the picture. It was a long list that's mostly forgotten, and probably never going to be used (though then I feel guilty 'cause he went to all the trouble of spouting off book titles. . . ) Hmmmm.
