Blogger,
So my first day at work was very eventful. Its not that different from M&M's down at the shore, except its a lot smaller, and cleaner, and the manager, Jack, is a hell of a lot nicer than guy was. I worked from 4:00-9:30. I got the hang of it pretty quickly, nothing I haven't done before. I worked up front with this other guy Pete who was really cool. He was wearing almost the same shirt as me. Mine said "don't stick fingers in electrical sockets" and his was "don't lean out of a moving vehicle." Good stuff. Pac-Sun, represent. So at around 9:00 when we were closing up, some girl comes in decked out in all tight black leather, money sticking out of her thong, out of her cleavage. Interesting charachter. So Pete and I were kind of gawking, but we managed to scrape together the fish she needed. When she left, after paying with money from her G-String, the guy behind her says to me "I'll give you $10 if you can tell me what color eyes she had." I'm no richer. I like it there, its better than M&M's. And plus, the benefits are good. I make less than I did at M&M's, but I'm allowed to eat whatever and whenever I want there. Plus I get to meet hookers. I'm never going to work with Kara though, so we're going to need to work out a schedule to see each other sometime. I'm going to go to bed now because I have to go back there i nthe morning from 10:00-2:00. Good night.

I was so tired last night I didn't feel like writing and I had alot to write about. I'll start with yesterday morning. As it turned out, I didn't have to get my schedule changed, they were able to make it gay by leaving it the same. So now instead of having 4th period free, I have a second gym in the same day. After school I went to the Casabona's. Thats always a good time. There was alot of Magicing going on. I beat all of Phil's ultimate decks easily. He's gotten really good recently though. In the past two months he's ammassed more cards than I have in 6 years. I traded some stuff with him, and I got a Kilnmouth Dragon, Dragon Mage, Western Paladin, another Force Bubble, and Epic Struggle. Holler that. The only thing I had to give up that I'm going to miss was my Sengir Vampire. Right now my most wanted cards are Avatar of Woe, Spirit of the Night, Feral Shadow, and Rith the Awakener. If you have any of those you're willing to trade, please tell me. So After the Magic-a-thon I came home and slept better than I have in a while. Cartoons were good today, they're all new now. I have some serious Magic re-decking to do, so I'll updat when I come home from work later maybe.

Long day and alot to talk about. First off, I fucking hate Burke and anything involved with it. As it happened, or so it seemed, to "compensate" for the schedule being completely gay I got a schedule I liked, with all teachers and classes I had chosen. But in a recent turn of events, I have to get a schedule change tomorrow. i'm supposed to have gym last period tomorrow instead of English, but no. The english class i'm in doesn't cancel out for gym. So now I don't have a second gym class in my schedule. Now this means I have to get a complete schedule makeover, which means I'm going to lose all the good classes I'm in, I'll probably switch to Rivas for history or something, and thats what I don't want. Whoopty-frickin-doo. Another thing I am extremely pissed off about is the fact that the order for my samurai sword was canceled for no apparent reason. I'm fucking pissed. I definitely ordered it almost three weeks ago, and just yesterday they e-mail me and say there was an error and the order could not be processed, and could not be shipped. Yeah, fuck you too. I was so pissed off by the time I got home today. The bus ride was an hour and a half and all the ass holes were on. Michele was here when I got home too. I don't know what part of "you aren't supposed to be here" she doens't get, but she's very intent on showing up here every day. She's going to LBI tomorrow morning and I don't know when she's coming back. Dad made me sign up for SAT review classes every Tuesday and Thursday from now on, but I honestly don't know how he expects me to get home from them. I paid the money and got the evaluation test. I'm going to take it tomorrow or saturday morning. With any luck I'll do so good on it she'll say I don't need to take the course..yeah right. There were two incidents today where my intelligence was once insulted, and twice complimented. In history, Mr. Lazarus made some comment about how "if you don't get this, its a good thing you aren't in AP. I hadn't the faintest what was going on so I felt like a real smart kid right there. then in English last period, Mrs Ross asked me why I wasn't in honors, and I told her: "Because you wouldn't reccommend me for it." She was shocked by this. Did I mention how much I fucking hate Burke Catholic and anything in any way involved with it? All day long people kept asking me what was wrong. Don't take this in the wrong way. I appreciate the fact that you care, but it gets really annoying when every 5 seconds I hear "aww Steve, whats wrong?" Its always the same things. Girls, Michele, or the fact that I have 4,000 problems with my life not involving them. The rest of my day after school was equally stressful. When I came home, I was pissed off at creation. I did my 10 mile circuit on the bike (1-1-2-3-2-1) while I started reading Lucky Wander Boy by D. B. Weiss. Its an interesting book. Its about a guy in southern California who's a video game nerd like me. his life mission is to write a book he has called The Catalogue of Obsolete Entertainments. i'm only three chapters into it, but I'm already in awe of the author. Its a true story of his life, and he's had quite the experience with video games and the like. I read my quota and rode the same, but I just kept going and going and going. I did 15 miles more than the 10 I set out to do. For dinner I ate an entire large container of chinese white rice and lots of pork. Oh, I almost forgot; I got a surprise phone call today. Michele Riso called. She doesn't hate me. So that was probably the one good thing that happened today. For the record, I picked up a penny tails-up today. I also said "fuck you" to no one in peticular. Just to spite the world I always pick up tails-up pennys or any coin for that matter. I believe in karma, but I don't think a bad day can result from picking up a penny. Especially not with the frequency with which they've been popping up lately. Another funny thing is that I just realized today that writing in the Blogger everyday is the only thing I'm consistant with. I'm going to try to not let this one go. Last things I'll say before I end this: one, I still hate girls, and two, I hate math. Until tomorrow, good night.

Blogger,
You've changed. The save when you leave feature actually works now. Hooray. It's been such a long day. I went to bed late last night and as a result, I woke up late. The day seemed to drag on and on. I was annoyed by everyone all day too. I stayed after for the yearbook meeting. It ended at 4:00 and Michele didn't come get me until 5:00. I had to sit outside with Leddy face for an hour. thats an hour of my life I'll never get back. I didn't really have much to do today, I already finished all my homework into next week. I need a new hobby. I'm bored. Friday needs to come real soon. I'm so happy today is over with. By the way, I kicked the shit out of the summer reading test today in english class. She gave us back our summer reading folders also. On my Gatsby essay she wrote "You're a great writer." That made me feel really good. When I came home I downloaded the video for "Stacys Mom" by Fountains of Wayne, and I would just like to say that both Stacy and her mom have seriously got it going on. On that note I leave you.

Blogger,
Early post today. I was in a very good mood today, but nobody else was so my happiness was overlaped with dispair. Everyone else around me was having some stress today. Carolyn was sick, Amy is stressed out about life, and Melissa broke up with Rufer. Not to mention that Joe Galbo had things flying at his head all of lunch, but I wouldn't know anything about that (evil laughter). I had the best schedule today. Instead of religion second period I had Gym, and instead of History fourth period I had a free period. I did all my homework in the library with Amy. The days seem to go alot quicker this year and I don't really know why. The bus ride home was even fast. There were only like 5 people on. When I got home, I rode 10 miles on the stationary bike and finished reading my book simultaneously. Now I canstart reading Lucky Wander Boy by D. B. Weiss. I'm going to go to bed early tonight. I have to stay after tomorrow. It's is the first yearbook meeting.

I have such a bad headache. I had to go to the orthodontist after school, and he did something so now my mouth feels like it's 2 inches big. Today was alright I guess. Nothing spectacular happened. I have tons of homework and I don't feel good so I'm not going to write anything else. I'll write alot tomorrow to compensate.

Mood: Sickly.

I'm really really tired right now. I didn't go to bed until 1:00 last night, and I woke up at like 6:30 this morning. I don't remember what woke me up, but I was ultra super pissed. Nobody was home when I got up, which was kind of creepy. Dad and Kevin went out to get bacon real early. I didn't do much today. big surprise right? I rode I think ten miles on the stationary bike while reading comic books. My knees felt like jelly for a good 45 minuites after that was done. I did the entire week's worth of history homework. i'm becoming so boring I can't stand it. I'm getting fat, I'm boring, and I smell like a moose. not much can be said about this Blogger anymore either. I need a new hobby.
