www.neil.blog memo to myself. do the dumb things i gotta do. touch the puppet head.

This summer went by so fast, it’s crazy. It’s because of my work schedule.. I lost track of time. I haven’t really been talking to anyone, so people are thinking I’m ignoring them (Sean, I’m not). I only have about 2 weeks before I go back to school.. I’m kind of excited. I got the letter yesterday that said I did well enough on the writing prompt that I can skip English Comp 101 and go right to 102. So excitement city. I’m living at home for school, but I’m going to try to make some changes in my room that will make it easier to study.. like cleaning, and getting my computer out of there so I can have more space on my desk. And getting a new chair.

kthx

I want to buy an ibook. They’re cute.

I’m training Kendall at work tomorrow, that should be fun. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get up tomorrow but I’ll try.

Got drunk for the first time the other night at Erika’s, it was sweet until I started to feel like shit. But people were nice to me, and gave me water, and back rubs, and told me it was gonna be okay and that “shit if I had known that was your first time I wouldn’t have let you drink that much!”. Luckily I didn’t throw anything up or do anything embarassing, except show up to work with a hangover and fall asleep at my desk. Then I hung out with Shanon later that day after work and we made fun of each other. Saw 40 Year Old Virgin with Rene, and also other people but they didn’t sit with us up at the top 🙁 Oh, and we saw Red Eye last week, strongly reccomended.

Rene bought our tickets for Death Cab in September! And I guess she bought 2 extra accidentally so if anyone wants to come with us, they’re $31, center balcony at the Orpheum in Boston. Holla!

Okay, bed.

I went to a party last night at Derrick’s. After everyone left, me and Rene went upstairs to chill for a while. We talked about sweet random stuff, and then kind of dozed off. My parents don’t like it when I come home later than 12 or 1, and it was 1:30, and I just closed my eyes for a second and then woke up and it was 6:15. I freaked out, said bye to Rene, and drove home as fast as I could.

Got home, crept through the front door, snuck up the stairs, and passed out in my bed until 2 in the afternoon. Took a shower and wondered how I would explain this to my parents. Maybe I could pretend nothing happened, or something.

I walked in to the living room where my dad was sitting with my brothers watching TV, wondering how long I was going to be grounded for. After about 10 minutes:

my dad: how come you weren’t in bed at 5 in the morning?
me: I was at Derrick’s, I fell asleep
my dad: oh
me: sorry
my dad: HEY PUT THAT R KELLY VIDEO BACK ON.

A similar conversation ensued with my mom, then I went to work.

..

Someone yell at me, or something. I’m thinking it’s a trick, or who even knows. These are the same parents that would flip out if I came home 10 minutes late from the Java Hut on a school night. So I don’t really know what’s going on. I know I’m 18 and it shouldn’t matter what time I come home, but I still feel like that since I’m living in their house I owe them some respect as to not show up at 6 in the morning. Whatever, it’s just weird.

Also, read THIS. It’s one of my customers, talking about me on this forum.

My mom just referred to blueberries as “bloobs” and I laughed a lot.

Summer school “graduation” is on Thursday. I don’t think they ever did that before, but there are about 20 kids that didn’t graduate so whatever. I think that will be embarassing.. I just want them to mail me my diploma.

I registered for fall classes at Worcester State. I did the placement test and did well enough that I have to go back next week and write this essay on something, and if I do well I get to skip English Comp 101 and go right to 102. And I tested at a (high school) Spanish III level, somehow, even though I haven’t taken that class in 2 years, and did shitty in it. And just picked random letters for most of the questions.

I started to type out my schedule, but decided not to. Instead, here’s the classes I’m taking:

Holy shit, that book was INTENSE.

And I had it read in less than a day.

And I didn’t cry until page 639, beat that SUCKAHS.

Once again, I must stress, WOW.

Also I just read for like a day straight and now my eyes kill.

When is the next one coming out? Soon, I hope.
