Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Once again, I haven't been writing in a LONG TIME. Pleh, I guess every entry counts... Currently I'm sick, (sort of) with a cough and stomach ache. (OH NO, IT'S H1 N1!!!!!) Nah, I'm just kidding.

School is killing me, and the semester isn't even over yet! I've been having these really awful chronic headaches during school, too. Really sucks. sad On a positive note, I have been warming up to people, which is weird, considering that these people have hated me for the past four years.... My friend, Hannah Y. is a fantastic comic book artist, and actually has a little "partnership" with a guy. They are I & Y Comics. She's even included me in some of the comics! She also has an amazing singing voice, and will be singing a solo "Who Put the Bomp" in the concert this Thursday.

I might not even make it through the semester. I might be getting a job in the building across the street from my mother's as a youth aid in the Department of Water Resources.I would have worked in my mom's building, but a pervert by the name of Will ruined my job opportunities. The jerk. Here's what happened:

I go to these free events where my mom, other coworkers and I run booths that are educational, and yet surprisingly fun. I went to an event with my mom to the city of Pittsburgh, right? Everything was going great--I mean, our booth was right acroos from ice cream, churros, and cotton candy! biggrin It was the Seafood Festival (lots of nummy BBQ oysters!) and we were located where the kids section was, where all these bounce houses and stuff were. Anyway, things were pretty dead, concerning people. Now, I wasn't just working with my mom; I was working with two of mom's trusted coworkers, Alan and Jimmy (who I've worked with before--they're hilarious!) and four coworkers who I had never seen before. One of them, named Will, just didn't give me a good vibe. I was right. As soon as my mom went to get lunch that Saturday afternoon, I was kinda walking around our area, which included three booths--mine, which had the kids coloring and winning prizes, Linda's (another coworker--really sweet woman) and the guys' booth, the fish simulator. Will was in the last booth. When I walked over, he got up from his chair, put his hands on his hips and said, "Can I lay on you?" I know. I was really shocked. I was shaking my head, saying "What?" He has a really whiny voice, and he says "I'm really tired and you look really comfortable and cushiony. And I don't wanna get dirty." This pervert is 40! We are located on a huge flat of gravel, and we were all complaining about our shoes getting all dirty. What a dog, right? So now I'm just shaking my head saying No. And he says, "Come on, you can just lie down on your belly, and I can lie on you on my back." "No." Next thing I know, he's pulling money out of his pockets! He pulls out a quarter. "I'll give you....a quarter." "No." I was shaking my head at disbelief. He pulls out a dime and rubs it against the quater and holds it out to me. "I'll give you...a quarter....and a dime." I was ready to go HOME and I just said, "Forget that, man, I can get twenty bucks from my mom." And I did get twenty bucks. xd It was a big thing. When mom got back, I told her. She had to take a few deep breaths and said, "I have to talk to him. But not today. If I do today, I'll snap his neck." I love my mom. When we got back, mom told his boss, who (guess what?!) would've been my boss, who got pissed, who told her boss....it went right to the TOP. He's getting investigated against as a ***** because I'm a minor. The lawyer wanted to talk to me, but mom didn't want me to. I had a worse chance at my job now. If I got the job, I would've been with him, and they didn't want that. When we talked to the lawyers about me getting a job on the floor above my mom's--and Will's--they told my mom that they didn't want me in the same building as him. Hecka sucks.

Well, that's that. Romantically, I'm not doin' too well either. I never see my boyfriend Josh, cuz we're both in school. Now, this other boy, Christian, who is absolutely adorable (who I see every day) is starting to make moves on me. He always sits next to me and talks to me. WHAT AM I DOING?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!? It's awful, because I've known Josh since we were kids, and I've known Christian for three years. I was talking to my friend Michaela, and Christian walked down the hall and Michaela nudged me like a schoogirl and said, "I never told you, but when we hung out last year, Christian always talked about you and looked at you with goo-goo eyes..." That's when I looked at him differently and my heart fell on the floor, along with my stomach, and my v****a felt like it was about ready to go too. CODDANGIT IT HATE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!

I've found relief and comfort in writing, painting, and .....knitting.....? I've been continuing my stories, maybe I'll post the start of another one soon. I love painting. When you're mad, it all comes out with the colors on the canvas. Bright yellows, angry reds, spinning blues, mellow violets.... I love it! I love knitting. I've never really kept to it, but now, that's all changing. I'm knitting around school and during classes when my teachers don't mind. I've also been wearing some of my creations. Now, I have like 6 orders backed up for scarves to be made--for bucks! THANK YOU!!!!! I'm learning new stitches, and constantly looking for cheap, good yarn--that ISN'T made out of wool. I hate wool, it's just so scratchy, I dunno. If anyone wants wool, I'll do it, but they have to make a special request.

What else? Reshan (if no one knows, he's my big bro) loves going to school--2 FRICKIN' DAYS A WEEK! Lucky punk... stare I love him though. I've been dragging him off 2 the gym, I need a workout buddy. At first he was totally bored and not into it. Then, he saw the awesome racquetball courts. Now we play every week for like 2 hours. It's so fun!!!

People! One complaint: I haven't gotten requests for avatar art in like, almost a year, it seems like. YOU CHOOSE THE PRICE! You choose the price after I draw it. Color is optional, don't change your avi while I'm completing the order. Look up "Eleny Rose+ Avatar Art for Sell!!!" I need a break from school...
