Because then I end up not being able to sleep. Of course, it’s always when I need to be up early. So yeah, you know how that rolls.

OH! I totally forgot to mention this. I entered an amature photography contest a few months back. Basically, they picked X amount of people to be published in a compliation book. Well, I got picked. So yeah I’m getting published! Fuck yeah!

I can’t believe I forgot to mention that. I was talking about it for like a week. Ha.

So tomorrow, eighty million errands to run. Blech. Mike and I are getting up early to run to the MVA, then I have to be back here by ten so that my mother and I can go look at dresses for the wedding. We still haven’t gotten one for me. This is going to be hell. Our tastes differ too greatly. But, seeing as it’s her wedding, as long as she doesn’t put me in anything hideous with like poofy sleeves or something, I think I can live with it. Yeah? I think so. I think I’m going to drug myself to sleep now. Yay for sleeping pills!

Oh how very true.

Rule 1: Life is not fair. Get used to it.

Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. However, the world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you start feeling good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $40,000 a year right out of high school, and you won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers at McDonalds should not be beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping … they called it OPPORTUNITY.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents’ generation, try delousing the closet in your own bedroom.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with recognizing that there are winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have even abolished failing grades, and they’ll give you as much time as you want to get the right answer on an exam. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off, and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. You are supposed to do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop, and go out and find a job.

Rule 11: Be nice to NERDS. Chances are you will end up working for one.

I seem to be getting pretty good at those.

I’ve been (kinda?) busy. I guess? I don’t know. Okay, I really haven’t been super busy, but the Sims 2 has sucked my soul in again. I bought some expansion packs (all of them…) and now I just can’t seem to stop playing it. That game is way too addictive for it’s own good though. -nods-

Umm other news… Oh! I know. My sunburn is gone, now I’m just peeling like crazy. It’s kinda fun. I like peeling the skin off. haha. Yeah, I’m cool like that. This probably sounds totally random because it’s still rather early. I just figured I’d update before I went to work because I haven’t updated in like a week or so. But honestly, there hasn’t been anything to update about.

It’s still been raining on and off. We had another torrential downpour last night for about oh, five minutes, but of course, you know, I was outdoors during that five minutes. Never fails. I ended up running to my car at the Royal Farms and smacking my head on the car door. That didn’t feel too good. Let me tell you. I have a rather nice sized knot there to prove it.

But, I think this is going to be all, because I have like five minutes to get ready for work and get out of here now. So I gotta hurry up and do that. I’ll probably write another entry when I get home today.
