Sigh... I'm not going to argue with the Lily anymore, not that I even started too, I just won't start. It doesn't seem like Lily's ever going to really, REALLY, know what I mean, so whatever. Besides, she's not even reading entire posts, and it's not like it even takes a long time to do that, so way to really try and understand us. Good luck on your interview by the way.
I already told Chels about stuff going on in my life and how Lily said that she was so surprised that i was "motivated" when I was planning to go to that volunteer orientation (where only one other person showed up... so it was just 3 people in a room. Kinda sad) Just yesterday, I kinda made a point in my life to do something more. I went downtown, dropped off my volunteer application form at YouthCo (the place I want to volunteer for) and they told me that I would definitely be busy during the summer. Then, I went to buy hair dye and stopped to listen to some people from Amnesty International talk to me about the stuff that they do and everything, and at the time, I didn't really care either way if I donated to them or not. I told them I had "limited funds" because I don't have a job right now, and the guy there said that he had limited funds too, which is why he's working for them right now. He said that if I was interested in doing what they were doing then I could ask them when they phoned me. I gave them my phone number and told them the best time to call me was
Friday at night (but then i realized i would be at Denise's partay)
As i was buying my hair dye, I realized how I needed something like this to feel like I was really making an effort in my life, so when they phone, I'm going to help them. I went to Future Shop after that, looking for a cable to connect my keyboard to my laptop to try and see if I could record things on there without having to go back into a recording studio and spending a lot of money. The cable would've been $29.99 but I got my old friend there to get it on discount, which was $2. Yeah, seriously, awesome!!!
When i got home, my mom told me there was a message for me about a job. I was confused because I hadn't applied for anything lately, except for Tom Lee. So I played the message and it turned out to be the Sun Yat-Sen Garden calling me. I had responded to an ad for volunteers at the gift shop, and I know Denise works at the gift shop, so I wouldn't really be alone there. Anyway, they have yet to call me back to set up an interview time, but I think it's going to go well. So now, I'm going to have 2 volunteer things to do during the summer, a possible job (at Amnesty International, but I don't know for sure), continuing to teach and perform too, as well as probably going back to the recording studio (I tried getting my keyboard/music program to work, but it was really confusing and I'm too stupid to figure out how to work it). I finally feel like I'm packing in useful things in my days. Maybe now I won't wake up at 11:30 in the morning.
So... when do you guys want to do the Iron chef thing? The board game night? The sleepover party? The band-aid cereal party? The hanging-out at the beach day? The possibly going to Playland day? Expert organizer Ann says she will be figuring out when to do everything... good luck with that, haha.
Oh, and I have a discussion group thing to go to about homophobia/transphobia in high school on Saturday, so there's that. So much to do!
