well i finally know what i am doing this summer. i am sad to say its not camp. i am staying here in the cities working. this is my first summer since before eighth grade that i haven't worked at camp. weird. i hardly know what summer means without camp. i should be able to make it up there for at least a week, maybe two.
i will be working at the smooth grind still, but probably also at another coffee shop. the java train. why two coffee shops you ask. well the smooth grind got sold. this is the last week with the current owners. the manager got fired because the new owners are going to be like the manager was. and the new guy got fired. i am still working here. we don't know how much yet or anything. but the manager likes me so much that when she got a job managing at the java train she asked me to come work there too. so i should be working at both for a while. maybe after the new owners get used to the smooth grind i might go to just the java train. maybe the smooth grind will give me more hours and i will not work at the java train. don't know yet but coffee is what the summer holds for me.
well my brother paul is getting married this weekend. that should be pretty exciting i guess...
not much else i have to say about that.
a while ago my phone started getting lots of text messages. it was like they were wrong numbers but if i texted the people back they said they didn't text me. they texted someone else. their phone showed a different number. so after 50 wrong number texts the first day i stopped replying and just saved the funny ones. here are some of the best. (all typos were in the texts)
- hey sexy i had a great day. thanks so much, i love you! carla
(my roommates really wanted me to respond to this one)
- FWD: your love wil call tonite at 11:59 or kiss u tomorrow or ask u out but if you brek this chain you'll be cursed. send to 10 ppl.
(no one called... dang)
- Just a reminder that tomorrow is "Hug a retard" day. so don't freak out like you did last year.Nobody's trying to hurt you.
- shutup id like to see you do this monkey dance
- hey i don't know who you are but for some reason i keep getting texts from you ~Dani J
(this was when i hadn't sent any texts for a few days)
- Today is SEXYFRIEND day and baby u know u sexy! Send this all ur sexy friends (even me) if u get 1-u ugly 2-ok 3-dang 4- wow 5-sexy!
(these next ones are a series that happened all from one number withing a few minutes of each other)
- you can choose to come out immediately or i will come in and get you in fron of your friends. you are so grounded along with thomas
- ps it is in your best interest no to say a word when you get in the car or home. i will let you both know what consequences you will get when im ready.
- and can keep my temper
- i am truly dissappointed in both of you show all this to thomas i am ging to bed
(thats the end of that series. weird that it mentioned me)
(here is another series... all of these texts came within a minute. my phone hadn't finished beeping from one when the next would come in)
- are you igging me again or what
- r u mad at me?
- r u upset with me?
- r u busy?
- r u working out with sweat glistening all over ur body?
(yeah odd)
- your phys ed teacher called uhave 11 absences and have to make up classes r u trying to notgraduate i am not happy u need to see her today and get on it
- r we doing manhunt 2nite?
- kelsey loves you.
there are those. there were so many more. those are just the ones i thought were funniest.
That texting issue sounds absolutely hilarious. I would like that to happen to my phone, but I wouldn't want to pay for the extra texts, since I only have three hundred a month.I think camp may be the reason I really don't care about the news. I learned at camp that I can survive without knowing what's going on in the "real" world. I remember when the speaker talked about the bombings that one week. I think that was the week there were bombs in London. My mom asked me that weekend if I had heard about the bombings, and luckily because of the speaker, I could say yes.
ReplyDeleteCrazy with the texts...i think you could have had a lot of fun with them if you tried. Maybe you should text random people also...just don't pick me...i won't get them. Hope the transition in coffee places goes well.
ReplyDeletehmmm. not even at camp and i don't know what's going on in the "real world" news: camp is the real world too!! just a different real world where there are more important things going on. anyway, Hi Thomas. good to hear from you. Keep up the chair setting skills. *sweetest summer ever* because what did i do?.... can't think of anything *stares into space.so, sad to hear your streak is over. at least you've got what 1 or 2 summers on my total? let's not go to consecutive years. they're just lucky i actually came back. I might go to some games this summer, if i'm in town i'll let you know, you should give me your number because i don't know if i have it. I know, baseball... twins just sold the team... but, hey, it's kinda fun, and something to do. (maybe I'll hang with you while Thad goes to the game) ha. well, see ya.
ReplyDeleteI really liked that. I'd like to see you do this monkey dance too, whatever that may be. The others sound like an angry mother. Maybe it was your mom trying to send stuff to your brother. And you failed phy ed class, that's ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI shall miss you friend, but I'm happy if you are happy. Give me a heads up if you are coming my way, so I can have your favorite stuff on the menu. Miss you in all of your amazingness! ~me
