i've already learned enough to know

I went to a barbeque today, and it was so boring, I thought I would shoot myself. My mother's old friend was having it, and we had to go, because my mother wanted to. I didn't do anything, except eat and talk with my sister. We were so bored together. None of the kids there were our age really, it was all younger kids. I stayed in the car most of the time and read my book, as I didn't feel like being around a bunch of crazy, old, and totally smashed people.

The neighbors behind us are having a party too. I was seriously going to puke, because they were having a roasted pig. Imagine what it's like looking out a window in your house to see a pig on a stick, spinning around over a little coal pit thing. When they first started cooking it, I couldn't breathe, and the smell was making me really dizzy and sick. I swear, I don't think I have ever seen anything so disgusting for as long as I have lived. Now I have to listen to their awful crappy music and yelling. Stupid college boys...not good for anything but partying. If I was in a party mood, maybe it would be different, but I'm tired and don't feel like listening to noise.

I got a nice call from Jessie today on my cell phone while I was in the car. She went with her family and cousin to Canobie Lake for the day. I sent her a text message about the pig, and one about a ride at the park. I so hope she is coming to visit me in Maine, so I don't die of total bordom.

Yeah, that's another thing. I won't be able to update my diary for a week, as I am going up to Maine, and I don't have internet access up there at all. I can live without it, sure, but I will just kind of miss writing in my diary. Well, time to go to the beach and get that tan. My ghostly white skin can only take so much sun, though. I am kind of sick of Maine, as I go there every year, but I am going to have fun anyway. If I get bored I can always just bum around the arcade or beach or center, or something. I am not really good at meeting new people, so it's not like I am going to make any new friends or anything. I think one of my cousins is up there though. He doesn't like me anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

I have just started reading A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. So far it is a really spiffy book, and I like it a lot. It's kind of long, but I think I can plow through it in about two days. I am a fast reader, as long as I don't have to stop and do any writing or anything. That slows me down so much. I hate writing stuff about books. I can read them quickly and learn a lesson from them without doing any crummy reading activities or writing. But sadly, teachers do not think that that is a good idea. They are always up for some nice work for their children to do. Well they can just go pitch a tent.

What else did I do today? Oh yeah, I went to the Galleria to get a screening/interview thing for the new Borders books that is opening up there. I think I did pretty well. They are going to call me up next week if I am invited to a second interview. Only bad thing is that I am not going to be home to get the call. It doesn't really matter to me, though. I don't even really need the job all that much, I just want the money. But I would be good at it, no doubt. The guy who interviewed me was really nice, and I hope that he calls me back about the job. I really do. I want to work in a bookstore. Maybe it will inspire me to read more than I do.

Well, I'm out people. See you on the thirteenth! Ciao!
