So I graduated. Woot woot. And I moved back home to Winchester. Then I struggled for like a month trying to find a job. Then I found a job. Nice quick recap.
Let's see. At the end June we celebrated Sarah's 22nd birthday and Kelly and I made an Elephant themed cake. Is themed not a word? This is telling me it is not. Oh well.
In July we celebrated my brother John's birthday. Actually we "celebrated" because he refused to let us throw him a party and did not want cake and presents. Instead I invited everyone over to our house on his birthday, hosted a "Puzzle Tournament" and the winner got cake. And then we sang a congratulations song and gave presents to John. That part didn't really make sense, since John was not the winner GASP! But when people asked me what John wanted for his birthday in the weeks prior I manipulated them all into getting him things we both wanted. Then I told John that all the gifts were actually for me but I would share with him. Also, I didn't get him a present. I followed his rules and saved money!
So I've been working at this company called Luggage Forward for almost three months now. Wow does time go by fast. They made me Insurance Manager because the old one left. It's not so much fun and I'm the only one who knows what to do, but somehow it will work out. Mostly I take phone calls and help clients make orders and figure stuff out. And I am an Operations Analyst/International Specialist. Basically I make customs documents and air way bills for the luggage we send. Best part about work is making packets (I don't know why I love things that this so much, same went with doing mailings at Penguin). And whenever the co-founder's dog, Lola, comes in. Lola is great. Also every Monday is Pizza Monday and Friday is Ice Cream Friday. Nice.
I went to visit May May in NYC and we went on a date to governor's island. We rented bikes and road around, it was quite lovely. For some reason our outings tend to end up like dates. Also, the next day I ended my relationship with Netflix. I am still furious at it for hiking up the prices. And now I hear they are actually putting a stop to same-time streaming. Ouch, what's the point of you now Netflix? Nothing. Nothing. We did have some good times though, and you did introduce me to Buffy and Mustard Pancakes. What's the point of a world without those two things?
At this point I am going through my calendar and looking at major events. I forget about things a lot. Totally forgot I went to New Hampshire. But I did. We went to John A's dad's candy shop in Laconia and we ate tons of ice cream and made lemonade. His family owns the whole pier and it's pretty sweet. Good times.
Oh, before that Captain America came out and all my dreams came true. LOL. It was good.
Then I went to New York again and was reunited with Conley 206 at Aleah's birthday party. That was fun. Also she has cute dogs and one of them was named Kit and I kept pretending it was the dragon from The Immortals. I didn't tell anyone this so I laughed to myself a lot
Sarah, Bethany, John, John, Mary, Peter, and I had a Staycation where we all slept over Bethany and John's house and played board games. The next day we watched Youtube videos on their TV and ended up watching almost every one of my videos. Then we went to Sarah's house and Hurricane Irene took out the power at my house, but not at Sarah's. Well not until like 6:00 PM. We ordered Chinese food and everyone (John, me, my mother, my father, Peter, Cheryl, Bob, Kelly, Sarah, Mary, Pat, Liam, and Elmira) all ate Chinese food in the dark while singing songs with particular words in it. I attempted to fit "We Didn't Start the Fire" for every answer.
Alas, Alas, I think I am basically caught up. It is raining a lot. I really like the rain but it makes me sleepy. That's what I am using as my excuse for sleeping in later than usual. And also for not going running. Yesterday I had the crazy idea to train for the Boston Marathon that is in April of 2012. Uhhhh not actually going to happen but I'll give it a go. I think I might put "train for a marathon" on my bucket list and not "complete a marathon" Just incase. Don't want to be too crazy.
Good day.
Seriously, it's raining A LOT.
