Time to catch up on whats been going on in my life:
--The majority of my time has been devoted to my job at the HLE. can i just say that the sun in Florida has to be the hottest anywhere...except for certain places in Africa and possibly India. I also think its wrong to have sweat dripping down your back as you serve customers ice-cream in an Israelite costume. don't get me wrong...i've very greatful for my job and am happy that i have a source of income. there are just certain days that i really really dislike my job. but i guess everyone has one of those days...mine was this past saturday. there were only a few highlighting moments...one being a conversation i overheard. one of the guests was asking her friend if she had been to "The Scorpatorium" yet. The building she was refering to was The Scriptorium...an exibit that chronicles the growth of the Bible. yeah...i pretty much was holding in the laughter and told the first worker i saw what i had heard we all had a pretty good laugh over that one. :)
--I recently saw Bulletproof Munk. and surprisingly it is a pretty good movie. one that i wouldn't mind seeing again. partly due to the VERY cute guy in it...ladies seriously see this movie for him!! ;) and for the plot...it was sorta interesting. the only thing about it that was semi annoying was the fact that the Munk really never stopped smiling. now there are very few people who are like that in real life...and when i see them i always feel as though they are hiding something or they are strange. people who smile for no reason make me nervous. oh and the other thing about it was that it had some heavy Buddist philosophy in it...but other than that it was fun to watch.
--i've been meeting a lot of new people and its been a lot of fun. mostly at work. all the people who in the last eight months have been hired while i've been gone. most of them are quite fun to talk to. This one girl Jessica is gorgeous! She looks like an Israelite woman in her costume...she has pretty dark curls and dark eyes. she wears a green outfit that totally compliments her. :) I also have met a guy named Aaron who hung out with us four last night. he introduced katie and laura to Chai Tea. he seems to be pretty passionate about that stuff. ;) there is another guy that i met at work, but sadly i forgot his name. i'm really bad at remembering names. he waters the plants at the HLE. does a good job at gardening. :) its been fun to be back at work with all the people. i actually missed them all. my boss(es) included! the actual job work...maybe not quite as much, but the people definitely.
-- I saw Matrix Reloaded. That would have been an awesome movie if they had cut out the thirty minute sex scene...ok three minute sex scene. it felt longer...probably because of how uncomfortable it was. but other than that i liked the movie. it explained the matrix more in depth. and i probably will need to see it again to really catch everything that was said.
Well tomorrow i get the priviledge of watching some of my close friends graduate from high school. its weird how it feels like this past year has flown by and in some ways i feel as though it still is the summer after i graduated. but then other times it does feel like a year has past...but i still don't have a place that i fit. college is still too new. high school is definitely over. and here i am.

Can I just say that there really is no better way to wash a car than in sunny, summer weather, wearing your swimsuit, using a hose to spray your friends! hehehe! This is also another thing I did recently...today actually! Laura and I got together to wash her car at Nathan's house. it took us three washes to really get it clean...did you know that her car color is red? It was amazing! We actually saw how pretty it was under all that dirt! hahaha. GO COROLLAS! :) It was so fun to spray down the car and "accidentally" spray Laura as she stands there perfectly innocent! wahaha! Of course she got me back....as I was putting away the smoothies! bum! ;) then Nathan thought he'd be all sly and hug me with a wet, dirty cloth as I was leaving. Sorry nathan...but no stealth cookie for you. :D Carrie saw right through that plan...you see Nathan was bitter at Laura and I...why you ask? well, earlier, we had both sprayed him as well! hehehe. anyways. i said goodbye and turned to leave and SMACK. he threw the stupid rag on my back! all the gray suds and gross water dripping down....ew. anyways this is when i dropped my purse and walked towards him as he ran around the house...but thankfully Laura, my partner in crime had run to the hose and turned on the water. so nathan was hiding in the bushes a scaredy cat as the girls triumphed with the weapon! hehehe. ;) this is the best way to wash cars!
ok...why is it that the creepy people seem to come out of the woodwork at gas stations?? you don't see many of them until you seriously get to a gas station! The reason I'm talking about this is because I had one of these experiences before I left Tally.
I was sitting in our van waiting for my dad to come back from getting a receipt at the counter. I had the windows rolled down and music playing...it was incredibly hot that day...ugh summer here we come...anyways. this truck pulls up and two African American guys come sauntering out and slowly make their way to the front of the gas station. then another one comes out of no where (he had on this huge hat, which i'm assuming had muchos amounts of afro-ed hair in it...but thats besides the point ;) ) and greets the other two.
well the driver starts walked back to his truck. and then his friend started to follow him...but instead of going towards the truck he looked straight at me and started walking over towards me. Now this whole time i was constantly watching for dad wanting to start our four hour drive back home but still sorta wary of those guys. at this point i started freaking out a bit in my head. he kept looking at me funny and i kept shifting my eyes behind him searching for dad. so he turned to look behind himself and saw dad. But as he and I watched, it looked like dad was heading towards another vehicle, so he sorta smiled freakishly and looked back at me and continued walking. but by this time i saw dad coming and i was screaming in my head for him to hurry up! dad did get to the van just in time for the guy to realize and sorta smile at me weirdly again. then he wandered back to his truck where he leaded up against the back, and stared at me somemore. by this time i was seeing this all through my periferal vision...not wanted to look at him at all. We started to leave and the driver guy who had been watching his friend this whole time did one of those guy head nods to dad as we drove by. i asked dad later what he thought the guy was wanting...and dad said he probably wanted to ask for money...but i dunno. it was just a really freaky experience.
