Summer seems like its dragging on for me

I realize the last few weeks I've been a bit down and I think I finally know why. I mean my life is pretty good right now, I almost always have money and my mom gives me pretty much unparalleled freedom to go/do pretty much anywhere/anything I want. But the thing that has probably been bothering me is the fact that I am missing a big part of life right now. It's..........a girl(probably pretty obvious).

Its been weird for me the last few years with girls. I seriously can't remember having a crush or liking a girl since like grade 10. Sure, I see lots of girls that are nice to look at but I haven't met a single one that I've had a connection with. Right now I blame this all on being out of school and not really having a chance to meet girls my age. When I finally get back into school hopefully I'll meet some people. The fact that I've never actually had a real relationship(sure I've done certain things*cough* with a random girl or two but mostly one time things) kind of scares me, but I'm still hopeful.

Now if only summer would go a little faster. My life has been on hold for like 2 years and now that I'm finally trying to get back into school it seems like these last few months before September are really dragging on.

Romeo X Juliet made me sadface

So I finally finished this anime after starting it like a week and a half ago. Oh spoilers btw

The ending was so sad to me for some reason I can't believe it actually made me cry so much. Starting when Romeo died right to pretty much the very end I was crying. Even 1 litre of tears didn't make me cry(ok ok I admit it did, but not that much). The story is changed so much from the real play I guess I just expected the ending to be changed to something happier too. Oh and that stupid sad Josh Groban song(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkZ6SmvXOEY) playing through the whole ending didn't help make it any less tragic either >>

Tales from The Bay: Part 2

So its Monday and I've already taken back those 6 pieces of (used)luggage in the picture. Over $1200 bucks refunded to 2 different customers.

The black luggage on the left was from a customer who bought 5 pieces of that luggage over a year ago. Someone on the weekend gave the ok to take them back because she "wasn't satisfied with them". Not only did she get to return all 5 pieces from over a freaking year ago, the moron who took back the first 3 pieces(on the weekend) refunded her them at full price(129.97 a bag) Yet she had like 2 seperate 10% discounts(which works out to like 105 a bag). So this lady got to use 5 pieces of luggage for a year and then return them for more then she paid. Crazy.

The luggage on the right was from this old couple who used the luggage once and decided to return it because the the front had some minor stains on it from travelling. They didn't even take the luggage on an airplane yet, all they took it on was a cruise. The luggage is perfectly fine except for the few stains on it, which of course is understandable because its like a bright silver colour and obviously dirt is going to show really easily on that colour. But of course they complained to a manager and said something like "oh the luggage looks like its 10 years old now" and without even coming to look at the luggage, the manager gave the ok to give them a full refund.

Note to self: if I ever buy luggage, buy it from The Bay and just return it after my trip

Contacts

So after like 3-4 months of being half-blind I finally got contacts. I have to say the first time putting them in felt so bad. It felt like I was crying but it wasn't emotional or anything, just tears and my nose kept running. Right after that I was lucky enough to have this cute receptionist like coach me on how to take them out and put them back in again(the optometrist put them in the first time). It took me almost 35 mins to do this but she was really patient so it was alright.

Anyway it's now day 3 of having them, and I'm slowly getting used to them. It only takes me about 10 minutes to put them in now(and I don't need like PA to do it for me *cough*leo*cough*) and less then like 2 mins to take them out. It's still going to take some time to get used to my eyes feeling kinda dry and sleepy though..but at least I can see again!

Fireworks failure

So I just got back from downtown at the beach. Was supposed to go with just Leo and Calum. But of course Bogdan manages to show up. Then some random indian kid showed up, Amed or something I think. And now of course Basil also wants to come. So we ended up waiting until 8:30 for Basil to show up. And now we had problems fitting everyone into Leo's car. Because Basil is like so wide so Bogdan has to get into the trunk. Turned out putting Bogdan into the trunk isn't a good idea(like putting Duy into the trunk). He decided it would be smart to smoke a bowl back there while we were driving. Of course everyone smells it and we have to open up the hole on the seat to try and get him some air(which probably ended up stinking up Leo's whole car). Anyway traffic was so bad down there so by the time we got to the beach itself the fireworks had already finished, so all of this was just a big waste of time. gg.
