This one isn’t about what i did.

I feel obliged to make a post now, because there’s nothing really better to do. I am about to go do some things and some stuff. THEN I will go to sleep, and tomorrow i will do more things and different stuff. After that, i’ll do some stuff, along with acivities. Then I will probably look at these activities and think some thoughts, and hear some sounds and look at some objects. Then i’ll go to a place, until a time, when i’ll do something. Not too sure what though. I just know there’s a race tomorrow I am going to do. Then a party after it. Then there’s another race i’m supposed to marshal the next day. It is very far away, and very early. But i am supposed to do it, so i can be on the track team, and that will give me something to do while i go to school, and learn some knowledge and gain some skills. Then one day i will have a job in which i will use that knowledge and those skills to make something to change the world a little bit so that other people can use their skills and knowledge to do other stuff. And things.

Last post of summer

Well, not *technically*. I didn’t update earlier in the week because my friend left for BC on thursday so we were chilling and hanging and shooting the breeze. It was good fun. I also had another two days off in a row. I worked today at a new pool, way far away, and there was seriously no kids. I sat next to a pool for 8 hours and got paid for it. On my weekend that i got from the rain i had a skype party with friends Andy and Natasha. It was cool and awesome. ALSO, it was my sister’s birthday on tuesday. She didn’t know what she wanted for a present, so i didn’t get her one.

long weekend is looooooooooooong!

So, this weekend it was all rainy and cold out. Sucks right? Except for when i don’t work in the rain and cold! Basically i’m at the end of a 4 day weekend right now. It’s pretty awesome. I went to the beach yesterday. Probably not the best beach day ever, but it was alright. We had the entire beach to ourselves at least. The only problem was it was super windy which made it not that warm. I made a killer sand castle though. And i’m now exfoliated in places i didn’t even know needed exfoliation! Today i got a haircut. That is all we are going to say on the matter.

Attention girl-types

AND anyone who’s ever said something to the effect “lol boys are messy.”.

you have clearly NEVER cleaned a public restroom ever in your life. I mean seriously! At my pool, there are 2 (two) one stall bathrooms. That means a toilet, a sink, a paper towel dispenser, a hand dryer, a bench for changing, and a garbage can. Every day i have to mop out both of the bathrooms so they aren’t a festering pool of filth the next day, and i don’t have to worry about people hurting themselves by drowning in poo or anything gross. At the end of the day, it takes me 2 minutes to clean the boy’s bathroom. That means 2 minutes to mop the floor, clean all the water sprayed everywhere from the sink, flush the toilet and make sure there’s the right kinds of paper in the right places. After that i do the girl’s bathroom. This takes me AT LEAST 10 minutes. That should mean 10 minutes to do everything that i do in the guys bathroom right? AAAAAND to pick up all the paper towels and garbage all over the floor, sweep out the food garbage, clean up the massive pool of water on the floor, rinse all the soap out of the sink, clean the chalk (no, srsly) off the walls, and unlock the stall, which someone locked and then slithered underneath the door.

Also, on monday i went to the beach. It was fun. I made a big sand castle. Then some girls were like “tee hee, we like you’re sand castle. it’s like sooo cool and you’re like soo handsome.”. That’s definitely how it happened. Anyone who says otherwise wasn’t there, they don’t even know. Then on tuesday it was alex’s birthday. He got some nice things and some stuff. I got him a nice thing and gave helpful suggestions on everything else he got it seems.

More summer adventures*

I’ve been busy once again, summer is on the way out now. technically. It’s definitely August now, Alex’s birthday is in less than a week, School starts in 4-ish weeks. All sorts of fun stuff. Work has been good. I get paid a lot. Kids are kids are kids who are bad.

Also i’ve been playing warcraft! It’s lots of fun. I "recruited” alex, meaning i got him his own account so we can play together. It’s more fun when you’re actually sitting next to someone and playing together, instead of over the internet. I’ve also had some really good ideas for stories or comic books, and they’ll probably stay good ideas until i decide to do something about them. Which will be in a while.

Work is actually pretty sweet. I finished a 1000 page book in less than a week, reading only at work and on the bus. I never thought i’d run out of the big stack of books i get from christmas, and my birthday, but i seriously went through it in a month! :S Now i’ve got to go to the library or something.

*Of questionable legality

a great many of the humblest apologies…

because i haven’t been posting in a while. I’ve been super busy, what with that job and also with playing video games and sleeping and stuff. It’s quite busy actually. I sleep in (ish) in the mornings, and leave at about 9:30, then i get home at about 6:30, leave again at 7:30 or so, and don’t get back till after midnight. Then i go to sleep and wake up again the next day. I also really should be doing more running… Not exactly sure when i’ll be doing that though. Recently i went to a comic book workshop. i learned a plethora of things about comics, but not what i went in expecting to learn, which was a little bit of a downer. ALSO, i got moved to a new pool, away from the pool with the really good kids who always came with their parents. I got moved to a far away pool, in a slightly sketchy neighbourhood, with kids who always come with their parents and probably don’t realise i exist. Which is good. They also moved my partner from my other pool, which sucks because he was a pretty cool guy. My NEW partner is quite a bit younger. He gives me quite a window on “Kids These Days”. who apparently do not know how to use a broom or mop.

I still haven’t registered for university classes yet. I’ve picked all mine out though! I’m taking all kinds of comp sci, a couple linguistics, and a math and a stats and philosophy!

I went to the Fringe Festival on Monday. I saw two shows, “The Macabre Show of Horror and Macabre-ness” and “The First Five Minutes are Slow” I liked both of them, the first was super funny, and the second was a little silly, but still enjoyable. For some reason they kind of skipped out on a scene or something at the end though, because it was like the climax of the play, then the end, with no real explaining as to what happened. :( I would recommend the shows, but as the first one’s name suggests, it’s kind of grotesque, and like i said for the second, it’s quite silly. But if you like vulgar sorts of things, or improv, you should check out these shows.

And now, i must away! for it is fast approaching bedtime, and there is much nonsense to do before then!

Busy as a bee, doing whatever it is that makes them so busy.

I’m busy, so i haven’t had time to actually blog lately. I’ve started my new job, as a wading pool supervisor! (Not a lifeguard, i’m not actually certified as one :/) It’s pretty cool, if you don’t mind hoards of children splashing you constantly with water. Today was my first day, and let me tell you, cleaning broken glass out of the pool for an hour and a half before you can fill it is no fun at all. My pool is kind of in a ghetto…

Also i’ve been playing video games. World of Warcraft, again, as well as this steam game called Super Laser Racer. Yes. it is exactly as cool as it sounds. It’s like Mario Kart meets Space Invaders at some crazy rave, and they do some things that are awesome, and questionably legal.
