Today was okay. My days always start at midnight because I stay up to talk to my boyfriend when he gets to work. Right now; I'm on 08-14-2001; but I won't be posting about it until tomorrow.
I chatted with my boyfriend (it feels weird to say that; but a good kind of weird) when he woke up. While he was on his way to work, disaster threatened to strike. Luckily, though, things worked out okay in the end. But, for that time, I was very upset. When he got to work, I talked with him some more for a few hours about what was going on, and then just random fun things. I love him so much...he always makes me stop being so serious and play a little.
I'm still feeling horrible about Coach leaving. I don't want to be the one to run FFLegend...but...I know that one day Coach will come back. He has to.
I had an idea for a new novel...one that I might be able to get published in spite of my age. It's going to be in the standard "best seller fiction" genre. Meh. Basically; a novel I wouldn't really read myself. But...I have a reason for wanting to get published. If I'm an author of any merit with a book that makes the NYTimes list at ANY level...I can live where ever I want to live.
I talked to another writing agency today. Another rejection on an agent when they found out I'm not 21 yet. Still...all my rejections have been positive. They like my work; it's my age they aren't crazy about.
Went over to Vicksburg and hung out with my dad for a little while. For once, we were able to talk about the state of my arms without fighting. I think he's starting to understand that I don't know why I do what I do. Also, it helps that I got my cast off today and I haven't done anything. Go me. Been a week Saturday since I picked up a blade. I don't know if I'll be able to resist if things get bad again...but...for now; I think I'll be alright.
Told my "brother" about my boyfriend. I really kind of expected a hesitant "are you SURE about this? Think about the last two times..." from him. Instead, I got a really good response about him being happy and thinking this might not be a Bad Thing (TM).
I almost understood part of the French article system while studying it earlier. I caught a glimmer of the idea...and then got confused. But; there IS hope. I've been practicing writing sentences in French. I can *usually* get understood; but I'm often incorrect in the way to say it. I'm learning, though. I still can't speak French very well. It's because of the Southern Accent. Meh.
I had fun at work. Well; I did for a while. When I first got in, I had to restock EVERYTHING. That was fun because I'm a perfectionist and I enjoy putting everything in order...except my apartment. Meh. I really should clean on my next day off. I accidentally got locked in the cooler for three hours. I was back there with the Beer Man going over the new inventory and checking off everything. We finished fairly quickly and he started stocking everything in its place. I went to another part of the cooler to restock some of the milk and juice drinks. He thought I had gone out of the cooler, so when he got done, he locked the door behind him. I was still inside, though. I decided to make the most of it and restock EVERYTHING and then rearrange the ENTIRE cooler in a better order. That took the first two hours. Once I was done with that, I got bored. I took an empty carboard box and set it on fire in an attempt to warm up a little and started wondering if they were going to find me. I daydreamed about things for a while. Thought about how great things will be once my boyfriend and I are together. I even thought about a little cottage-style house for us in a place in one of the pictures he showed me. Finally, I started having a nicotine fit, so I lit up a cigarette and set another box on fire. Wound up setting off the store's fire alarms. Whoops. But; that got me found. *g* My manager thought the entire situation was incredibly funny. I told her that if I was going to get in trouble for setting a fire in the cooler and smoking in the store, SHE ought to spend three hours locked in the cooler and see what SHE does. She gave me the Official First Warning About Not Smoking In The Store and let me go home.
I got in, took a HOT bath, washed my hair, fixed a sandwich, and then went for a walk. I like walking late at night. It's quiet. I came back and checked the boards and then started my nightly security tests. Everything is ace. *g*
My boyfriend came online just a bit ago. He's on his way to work right now. He ought to be back on any minute now. I'll talk to him for a while and then crash out.
