It's interesting, isn't it? How life can go from Hell to just... Life in no time at all. I remember only weeks ago I used to be filled with such anger, such hatred... And now, I can't even imagine what that feels like. I just feel exhilerated, almost like I could run forever and never get tired. I have a lot of things to thank for that.

Peter being one of them. He's been so good to me. Ok, wait. Before ANY of you get the wrong idea, no, absolutely not, we are not boyfriend and girlfriend. Though I'm sure he'd ask me to be if he had the guts, which I'm glad he doesn't, because I would have to tell him no. I refuse to date just one person throughout highschool. Under NO circumstances will I have a boyfriend during highschool, even if that IS the social norm. Well, I'm sick of it being the norm, because think of all the opportunities you are forcing yourself out of. Think of all the fun you are depriving yourself of! By having a boyfriend, I would only be able to date him, and him alone, I would only be able to flirt with him, and him alone, and I would basically have to devote all my time to him. I just don't want to do that yet. I've got jobs to worry about, no time for a steady guy. Besides, when you have a boyfriend, you become committed in a way. And when you are committed in such a way that it can be broken off, committment just doesn't seem as special anymore. And I want my marriage to be the best freakin' thing ever.

Anyways. Peter. He's been real good to me, being patient, and hanging out with me when I needed a friend. He makes me feel... special, and I guess that's what I need. Plus, he takes the crap I give him. "Go get me ice cream Peter." "What flavor?" ^^

Work: What to say about my jobs... well, as most of you know, I was a part-time secretary at PurCo and Buckets & Barrels. Then the owner of that company decided to purchase a fireworks stand franchise, and he also decided to put me in charge of it. His exact words? "Here. Make me money." So my secretary job has kind of been put on hold while I work my butt off trying to get this thing running. I have to hire, create schedules, inventory, stock, count money, not to mention all the liscences I have to acquire. And the stupid stand isn't going to get here until tommorow! Argh...! How can I pass the Fire Marshal's test without a stand to be inspected!? So we probably won't open when I was hoping to open... But that's alright.

I got a car! A 1991 Geo Metro that doesn't run yet, but she will. I named her 'Sophia'. If any of you have paint job ideas, I'm listening. I was either thinking painting it royal/true blue, and then getting a Homestar Runner decal on the hood and the whole HSR gang on the trunk; or painting it camoflauged, like army style, and then on the hood writing backwards "Can you see me now?" and then on the trunk be like, "If I can't see you, you can't see me!" I dunno, they're kinda dorkish, but I'm totally open to ideas. Anyways, speaking of work, I'd better head out. Sorry for not updating in forever, I'll try to keep it up! (For those few of you who actually read this)

^^ Peace out!
