WARNING, this is mostly for me, and im sure the causal reader will find it boring, so if you want to know what ive been up to, here it is, if not, well, im doing alright, thanks for checkin up.
I burned my self today, Ironing my shirt and pants for tomorrow.
I work tomorrow, Tony won the tossup so he gets to wait on the first ever table at Park Ave. Diner. Im pretty confident that everything will go smoothly for the most part. They already know im the best server at the place, not that its saying much, the four people they hired before me dont have any prior experiance, and the girl hired at the same time as I has experiance, but seems to be a 'go-through-the-motions' server. Kind of like some other severs i know, but will refrain from mentioning. But then again, i could be wrong about her, ive only met her twice. But anyway, tomorrow is the test run and i have to be up at 8:30 ish, so heres hoping.
I heard my b/f lowie got a car, or suv i should say. Yay for her, she diserves it. I miss her lots.
Tabby has been really cool lately and really really supportive of my new job. helping me study the menu and shorthand, helping me wake up on time. "PHEW" Course shes always pretty good, but shes going to read this so i wont talk up about her too much, but if anyone wants to know how awesome she is, ask and ill tell.
money is riddiculously tight right now, im really hoping for some tips tomorrow, but we will see how the wind blows. I almost ran out of toilet paper today, one of those things you dont see comming.
I went home for fathers day weekend. It was really good, i got to see my dad, which was great for the most part. We hung out and went bowling and just talked, it is really something i missed. we got into an agrument when i was leaving as usual, about me making us late. I personaly think it was the rain that did it, even with the rain and everything we were still on the road by 3:15, he wanted me to be ready by 3:00, i think it was close enought to avoid an argument, but it turned out ok. He got me a new pair a shoes for no reason, which was awesome. Actually he got me three. A pair of sneekers, that i picked out, a pair of converse lowtops, which i thought were neat and were on sale for cheap. (tabby has recently gone out and gotten a matching pair) and a pair of bowling shoes, for the new hobby of mine, it was good.
About the only thing i had a problem with was that he still treats me like a 15 year old at the wrong times. I mentioned taking up my sword again. Ive tried to take it up so many times, its a sword i recieved as a gift when i was thinking about collecting them. Everytime i try to take it up, my dad finds a way to stop me. He doesnt seem to understand that college kids are not so much kids as adults. I mean, im living on my own now, My roommate mike has two swords in our apartment, I have a display dagger that stays in my kitchen, and just about everyone i know has a show weapon on display at their apartment. He seems to think i hang out with drunks who will wind up picking up my 'toys' and hurt themselves playing with them. I wonder when he will finally realize that im an adult now. I live on my own, i make mostly my own decisions. Im slowly trying to take control of my own finances and not have him pay for everything. This is my home, not my house away from houses. this is my mailing addresse, where i live, where i will spend at least two years of my life, if not more. And to try to restrict me from bringing a display weapon of mine to where i live, to display it, feels shaming. like my own father doesnt recognize me as any kind of adult, like i dont have the sense of responsibility to have something like that where i live and be able to keep it from misuse.
Meanwhile it is staying in my 17 year-old step-brother's room, right now, and everything is fine. my stepbrothers little friends come over all the time and have since i had it and never has their been a problem, but if a 20-year-old responsible adult were to take it, there would clearly be problems, in fact its childish for him to want something of his to put on display, it should be kept in storage at a parents house like any other responsible adult with such a thing would do.
I guess that was the only part of the weekend that really got to me, ive made a point to mention it everytime i go home, i could have taken it anytime i liked, even if he doesnt recognize it, i am an adult, and i can and will make my own decisions, even if he got mad, he would eventually see that he was being ridduclous. but i guess i just keep waiting for his approvial, i mean it really doenst matter too much to me where the sword is, althought id like to have it, it matters more to me when he will finally start accepting me as an adult. I really thought that time was somewhat close. but when i asked this time, he told me "if you get straight A's this semester, then you can take it up" i dont even have words for how angry this made me, apparently im no more an adult then a middle schooler. not to mention... oh so many things about that made me angry. but ill let it go, again, until next time.
On the plus side, father's day was good, i wanted to get him the saprano's first season, but no one has it, i checked so many stores, i decided to wait the last minute so that i could check the stores in delray, again, no one had it. so i wound up buying the latest version at target. by that time i was a little short so i had to take out the money for the week to make up the differnce, i dont think dad was expecting that, since i was there for five days, but the rest of it has kept me fed this week.
I saw my brother for a little while, hes getting so fat, im actually starting to get worried about him, hes a good dad though, which is good, my pain in the ass bro, a good father, who would have guessed.
I also saw ampgard meeting at a park down home, it made me miss it, perhaps when i get the time ill look into it again. perhaps not. i need to find something active to keep me trim though.
I hung out with laurel too, we went to walmart late, and then to steak and shake, and were supposed to go to the beach and hang out the day i left, but that wound up getting trashed, so she came over as i packed instead, which was good. Crystal was with her the whole time, I remember her being fun, but she seems alot more likable now. I mean, i never had a problem with her, but i had a really good time hanging out with the two of them, so good for lowie for having a good friend, who dosent live 7 hours away.
I went to carol's families house for father's day, that was really nice. another unexpected supprise, i never have fun there. But even thought jackie, rob, and carly ignored me for the most part as usuall, i talked to Jill and older rob and Joe. so it was good. i broke a mirror, i was embarrassed, but now i think it was kind of funny.
That was it, and even with the sword thing, i was expecting similar, if not as bad, so all in all, it was a really good weekend, dad didnt even talk about school too much, which im sure was killing him. So i appreciated that, which i told him, slyly so that he wouldnt take it as an invitation. He taught me a new way to do pushups, i know wont do them, but there's always a chance. I think ill take a trip back down there before the summer is through, i know dad would like to meet tabby, so maybe ill take her down too. truth is, i miss it down there sometimes, with my bro and my dad. Miss my mom too for that matter, and all my HS buddies. but ill see.
Tomorrow, im going to clean my appartment when i get home from work, other than that, nothing. Well, i think that about does it. umm... yeah, thats it.
